Read "Don Quixote"

I’m an engineering student, so I read a lot, but nothing that you could discuss casually and create some interesting conversation, unless you’re hanging out with really really dull people. Why Don Quixote? Well, it’s a classic for one, but no one of the glam ones such as War and Peace, or Moby Dick, while I’m sure they are great novels, I’d like to take the road a little less travelled for this one. I first learned about this book when it was referenced in the movie The Ninth Gate. After that I learned that it was a classic, and supposedly humorous. I’d actually like to eventually read a number of the so called classics, so I think I’ll make Don Quixote the first.
