Have you read El Quixote?

Have you read El Quixote?

I tried. It's a boring piece of shit and I managed to end motherfucking Ulysses

It was a requirement. You dont pass the grade if you dont read it.

>I tried. It's a boring piece of shit
me too

It is on my "to read" list but no

Some people say the second part is more fluid and entertaining, well, this thread reminded me that I should download it and give it another try.

read only some bits and then dropped it

You're a boring piece of shit?

Boring shit

It does get better
At first is somewhat boring

Yes. I like it very much.

nope, was too confusing

>Grow up in La Mancha
>Everything is named after El Quijote
>Go to school named El Quijote
>Forced us to read fucking book in old Spanish.
>The book is about how dumb and useless people from La Mancha are.
>The message get lost, and people is super proud that they wrote about them.

The book is fucking insulting you, people, REEEEEEEEE

Yes
Masterpiece

This

It's a parody of Castillian society.

yep

ebin

It was boring. El Cid was way better.

Everyone is supposed to at least read some chapters of the first books on high school when learning about parodies, personally i have read it and think it's amazing.

>Only hispanics in this thread
Tell me Don Quichote and why should i read it

>El Cid
Corneille or the 11th century poem?
The Corneille one is really great

yeah in high school. is ok

The first part was really clever, and I enjoyed the Spanish version, even if I had to have a dictionary site open for every tenth word.

The second part was pure self-referential garbage that read like a fanfic of the original.

Yes. Funniest book I've ever read after A Confederacy of Dunces.

>Spanish still call it "Don Quixote"
>They still call us "Mejicanos"

Wrong pic

The 11th century poem, but thankfully I read a version that had both the archaic spanish and a modernized text.

I think I enjoyed the kebab removal aspect.

I'd see that movie.

Fuck you.

Thanks.
Why?

Latin-American actors? Are you fucking serious?

Sorry, I just don't know any Spanish actors except for Javier Bardem and Antonio Banderas. While I like Bardem I don't think he would fit the role. As for director, the only Spanish director I know is Luis Bunuel whose movies I love, but he's dead and I don't think his style would really fit.

To be completely honest, I don't know which Spanish actor I would choose for the role. But it would have to be someone similar to Nikolai Cherkasov.
I haven't seen his movie yet, but he fits very well the looks I always imagined for Don Quijote.

Pretty good casting, as far as looks goes anyway. Haven't seen anything of his.

You do know the curse on making a Quijote film, right?

Funny af

No

i only read vicente huidobro's cid desu and i found it kind of boring
i was 15 tough
