Don Quixote Prologue

 I decided I'm going to read DQ hard copy. Probably using Grossman as my primary, although I have the old rutherford that I may glance at. As a third option, Ormsby is on Gutenberg, I'll at least peek at the Dores. 

Bonus:

I can milk this for a while...

Summary: Doesn't matter, just make it cool.

Commentary: No didactic for Cervantes. I feel like I read a similar quote by Akira Toriyama, but I can't find it now.

First weird translation thing. Rutherford renders the proverb in the Prologue as "Under my cloak, a fig for the king." The others "kill the king." Fig kind of makes more sense (a lot more people flipping the king off than killing him), but it doesn't appear to be accurate.

It's good to be back.

Don Quixote Chapter 17

  Bonus: It's over! Summary:  DQ charges sheep, gets beat by shepherds, and does the list of warriors thing from the Illiad. Commentary:...
