Don Quixote de la Mancha, in the original castillian. Super tough read for me since I only know as much Spanish as I did when I left home at 8. But I'm glad I powered through it
Don Quixote is the main reason I’d like to know Spanish. Maybe one day I will learn it. What did you particularly enjoy about it?
I just liked the story of this old man who just can't let go, running amok and becoming increasingly insane, while most characters in the book are either indifferent to him or think he's nuts. He's just trying to live out his own reality one last time I think, one last adventure in a world that doesn't exist anymore.
