I was able to finish Don Quixote today. It was not a quick read by any stretch of the imagination, being over a thousand pages. Nonetheless, it was very good. The translation was as faithful as possible while still making sense in English; there were some 17th-century Spanish idioms that would not have translated well. It was very entertaining, being amusing as well as moving. For anyone who's been wondering about tackling it, I recommend giving it a try.
