Starting Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1605) translated by John Ormsby

 I'm going to use this edition on Gutenberg for my base. I like Ormsby's translation, and it Doré illustrations in already. It'll be a bear to Google Docs it, but after my experience w/ Animal Farm I think it's going to be the best combination of enjoyablity and studiability. Working my way through the front matter today. Fun fact "Saavedra" is based on the word for "one-handed" since his left arm was crippled in battle.

Already a great story, and I'm just on the about the author!
