This story follows the self proclaimed knight errant Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Ponza as they get up to all kinds of ludicrous activities trying to fulfill the duties of their station in life. I chose to hybrid read this to help me along in this lengthy story. It was surprisingly enjoyable for what it is. I found some passages quite funny but also melancholy at times. I kept thinking about how cruel people can be when they aren’t the ones impacted by a situation. It also got me thinking about how that cruelty remains very much part of human interaction. Also while there were some racist and sexist moments in the book it wasn’t nearly as violent as I was bracing for which I’m pleased about. Overall I’m glad I read this.
