Summary from Goodreads:

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading chivalric romances that he determines to become a knight-errant himself. In the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, his exploits blossom in all sorts of wonderful ways. While Quixote's fancy often leads him astray—he tilts at windmills, imagining them to be giants—Sancho acquires cunning and a certain sagacity. Sane madman and wise fool, they roam the world together, and together they have haunted readers' imaginations for nearly four hundred years.

Review:

Large old books have always been hard for me to get through, but this story was such a funny adventure, I had a hard time putting it down.

Don Quixote is a well read man who's mind has twisted those stories into reality. Because of this, Quixote and his ever faithful companion, Sancho Panza go on many hilarious adventures.

Favorite Quote:

“To dream the impossible dream, that is my quest.”

I gave this classic book 4 out of 5 stars. A wonderful read.
