Don Quixote
I'm dying to read it. I've been dying for years. Given that it's the 400th Anniversary and the fact that I turn 35 in a just a few days, I thought why not.
But I'd like to invite you all to read along with me! I've seen buttons around the blogs for the Anna Karenina read along, and have been intrigued. I'm figuring a six-month limit - maybe around a 150 pages a month. I would set up a separate blog so anyone can comment as they please, but I'd also have set times per month where I would comment, post some links, etc. I'm going to be reading the new Edith Grossman translation linked above, but any version would be acceptable.
I used to moderate a book group in real life, and since they disbanded, I've been reading less and missing it terribly! So this is my chance to get back in the game.
Let me know what you think. Any takers?

I love the idea of an online read-along. I think it would be great for a book that everyone can get into~ unlike the AK experience. I'm going to look around and see if I have a copy of DQ lying around and let you know. :)

I'll do it! Are you choosing a particular translation, or will any one do?
I've been wanting to read this for ages and just never got around to it.
