Books - Don Quixote

Woe is me! The massive size of Don Quixote, combined with my appalling forgetfulness, pretty much destines me to be eternally lost in the mesmeric land of La Mancha, the domain of the Knight of the Sorrowful face. I finished the book for the fourth time just over a week ago and I am missing it already.

I previously planned to read this book every year but there are so many other worthy books to read (including other variations of Don Quixote!) that I must find the discipline to put this book to one side for a good while.

I know that when I return not only will my memory have faded but the passage of time will have made me a different person. And so it is that Don Quixote will take on a new meaning, just as it has with each of the previous readings.

I'll post some quotes from the books at a later date.
