finish Don Quixote

I never thought a book could be slow. Well, this is it. Or maybe it’s just me. Anyway, I still have over 300 pages to read(which isn’t THAT much) but I haven’t read one page for a few months now. Hmm… VAMOOOOS everyone!

Watched the wonderful film of the book with John Lithgow in the title role and gave the book to a charity shop, having read probably four fifths of it. Figured if I really wanted to finish it I’d have done it years ago. Life is much simpler now.

A couple years ago I got about 100 pages into it but for some reason I stopped. This time, I will stick to it and finish. My parents have two copies of it. One is really, really, really long. I think I’ll choose the shorter version. hehe

I refuse to be beaten, 100 pages of part 1 to go come on!
it helps being somewhere where i have no other books available!

well – I’ve finished part 1 and started part 2. Phew… I guess that’s a mere 500 or so pages to go then!

the only prob is picking up after a few years, there’s more subplot than plot and it takes a while to realise what you’re reading is the tale someone they’ve bumped into is telling! Hey ho with any luck we’ll be done with part 1 for christmas.

for every job undone and goal to acheive there’s a group of people in the same boat!
Started reading this YEARS ago on an island near Tahiti, its alright so it is… I should finish!

Poor Don Quixote has been sitting on a shelf above my computer for ages, sitting sadly, waiting for my triumphant return…

I think that when I’m done with my current novel, I’ll pick him back up. It should be appropriate inspiration for my NaNoWriMo novel, particularly since I wanted to use Don Quixote as a character in my story. I can’t do that without shame if I haven’t actually finished the book first…

Never thought I would finish, but I’m glad I did.

After what seems like years, I have less than 150 pages left. I never thought I would finish this book. It’s supposed to be funny, but for some reason it depresses me. I will be glad to move on to something else.
