The re-reading of Don Quixote
Even though I know how the story develops, Don Quixote retains all of it its charm on a second visit. This 400+ year old novel is truly something to behold, a real gift to the literary world. I look forward to reading it again next year.
PS - If you are reading Edith Grossman's translation, I recommend skipping the first 20 to 30 pages of unnecessary discussion of DQ from the literary perspective, comparing Cervantes to Shakespeare and the like. Just go straight to the story and get stuck in.
