This edition is FREE on Goodreads! Just click on the book above, then "download" ebook.

Actually, to clarify, the edition on Goodreads is the Ormsby translation from 1885. You can tell by looking at the Author's Preface.

Ormsby (1885): IDLE READER: thou mayest believe me without any oath

Where the Grossman translation (the one with the red cover shown in the picture and when you click the link)
Grossman (2003): Idle reader: Without my swearing to it, you can believe

So, it's sweet that you can get the book for free, but it's actually not the Grossman translation.

I originally borrowed Grossman's translation from the library (had to battle with two more people on a continuous hold streak for almost three months) and loved it so much, I got myself a copy to put on the shelf. Good stuff. Too bad I won't be reading it with you guys...

Nice! I'm so happy the group chose Don Quixote. I've been swamped lately (new job, new house, traveling constantly since Feb... ) but I'm going to try very hard to join the group for this. Though I suppose I should catch up with Les Mis first. :)

I finally will be able to start reading this book this weekend. Looking forward to playing catch up.
