I read that many people consider Don Quixote the pinacle of Western literature. So I bought myself a copy of the new translation by Grossmann. I've read 250 pages, and although it's entertaining, I'm quite frankly getting annoyed at how DQ carries on!
I must be missing the book's deeper, profound nature.
Or perhaps not? What do you think?
