Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
I've got to say, this has to be the most interesting book I've started all year! And yes, I'm reading all 1001 pages of it. Why? Because my dad gave me his version from college. That, and it's about a crazy guy who thinks he's a knight and rides around Spain trying to find his "princess" who, at this point, is most likely a prostitute. Who, after hearing that, wouldn't read this book? Besides the people that are illeterite and those who won't read anything over 200 pages of course. But, besides them--the party poopers--I think that most anyone would read this book! Plus, I bet there's some deeper meaning to it. I'm not exactly sure what yet, but hey, so far it's just about a crazy guy on a horse... Maybe the moral of the story is to live your life so you don't go completely bonkers? Or something else... Whatever the case may be, the story behind this book is so freakin awesome, that I don't think it can compare to ANYTHING else I've EVER read! Especially the scene where Don Quixote thought that the windmill was a giant and tried to kill it! Now, that was amazing! I swear, Cervantes is the best writer in the existance of the world (excluding Hemmingway, who is also fantastical) for writing this masterpiece!
