My kindle tells me that I am twenty percent through Don Quixote. ...It's slow going. I don't know why though. It's very entertaining, and truly surprisingly funny! I don't know what caused me to imagine the 1600's as such a serious time period. I think it can be easy to forget that these people were still people just like us. Yes, they lived in a very different world, and spoke in a very different way, had customs that are sometimes beyond our comprehension... But there is a universality in the human soul and experience that crosses all borders and times.
One of those commonalities apparently is humor.
