Don Quixote

On page 850, I don't want to read Don Quixote anymore. Unlike most of the public, I greatly dislike Cervantes great work. It drags on and on. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza engaged in many crazy adventures, but they are all of a similar nature. He's tenacious, I'll give him that. But the book could have been six hundred pages shorter. Maybe I'm missing the point.

I felt this way at page 300 as well, but a little pep talk from Mr. Lehman before class got me 550 pages further. The additional problem is that now I feel guilty when I don't read it. I don't enjoy reading it and I don't enjoy not reading it.

Only 140 pages left... I can and will do this... it's just a matter of time :)
