Read this just to be sure I'd grasped most of the book, and I had. Reaffirmed my awareness of the classic nature of Don Quixote. Also detected Cervantes's influence on Shakespeare. Could spend more time reading literary analysis of this great work of literature, but on to other books.

I haven't read the full book, but it is on my list. Just wanted to get a summation as Don Quixote is referenced regularly.

Ok if you're looking for a synopsis.
