A man with visions of grandeur, after reading fictional stories about lone vigilantes, convinces himself that he too is a freedom fighter. In doing so, he goes out into the world, killing and proclaiming his righteousness, and shifting any narrative to make it so that he is the true hero. No, it is not the modern midwestern USA, it is Don Quixote. Which actually was a wonderful book, and I can understand why something so modern-feeling despite being 400 years old is considered the first modern novel. Somehow a story that is 1000 pages long didn't drag, and going into very long classics such as this you run such a risk. Filled with strange melodramatic stories, wonderful varied characters, and good nature, I highly recommend it. Oh yeah, except all the rampant Islamophobia, but I guess that's to be expected. 9/10.
