I've just finished reading my library's copy of "Don Quixote." It took me quite awhile to read. As with many older texts, I was amazed with the freshness of the experiences and the timelessness of the dialouge; could have been Abbott and Costello routines, or at least their precedent. It makes that bridge back to 1605 much shorter than I imagined.
I'm wondering what ol' Miguel would think of Google making his work so "available" online; even to embedding it at will as I have. I'm thinking he would have objected mightily, as he spent so much of Part II railing against an "unauthorized" version of his exploits and, hence, of him.
