Mental Multivitamin suggests that we quit talking about Don Quixote and actually sit down and read it. Well, Engineer Husband and I have been trying to do just that for quite a while now. Our translation has seventy-four chapters and is 944 pages long. At an average of two pages per night (EH falls asleep) a couple of nights each week , we could finish it in nine or ten years. It sounds like a good investment of time to me.
Thanks for the nod, Sherry. Hey, the link in your entry doesn’t seem to be working, so here it is:

Instead of reading two pages a night, try for 20 or 40 per week, and you’ll finish the first part, at least, in just a couple months. Read more pages, and you’ll finish sooner. I’m on my fourth time reading the book completely through, and it’s as funny and engaging as it was the first time through.
