I am 13 and reading Don Quixote rn. I am 800 pages in and I absolutely love it. I do creative projects with it, and I have had so much fun reading it. And I am utterly obsessed with it

Your friends are hilarious! Never read Don Quixote but there's a couple other classic novels I need to go back to and delayed for years after starrtng (Anna Karenina). But this seems like my experience of reading The Count of Monte Cristo (yeah I didn't do it in 19 days). I saw Don Quijote in a Japanese videogame and thought it was a fictional Japanese store lol. Enjoyed the video.

YOUR FRIENDS ARE SO FUNNY OMG!! this video is so fun and the part at the store and the part where you failed the challenge had me dying lmao

I actually have that same copy of Don Quixote and I definitely sympathize with your thoughts on the book. I want to love it because of my affection for Spanish culture and it’s status as the first novel ever written but when I was trying to get through it I definitely thought that the same point seemed to be getting made over and over again so I got tired of it and haven’t even made it to the second half yet. One day I’ll give it another go though.

Hi, Emi! this is such an interesting video! I have always wondered what a non-native speaker would think when reading this book! I'm not surprised you got bored at some point... I think it's too long! (I've never read the real version, always children versions! hahahah)

Haha this was a funny video! That book looked huge and you read it in less than a month so that is impressive! Never read it and not sure I will, but I do enjoy the Don Quixote in Japan! ❤️

I’ve been kind of learning Spanish on and off for years now so your channel is cool to me in general but I’ve really enjoyed your book videos. More please.

Cant believe you read that in less than 20 days! That's impressive! I will have to rewatch this video after reading the book 'cause I didnt want to see any spoileirs lol but i'm super curious to hear your thoughts! Much love from Brazil ❤️✨

I did indeed enjoy this video! Thank you for making it 😊

I like big books and I cannot lie But Don Quixote makes me wanna cry I see page count and it makes me shout That book of many pounds in my face And I give up 😂😂😂 Proud you got through it Emi! It sounds like a fun read and seeing this makes me want to give it a go again. Loving the reading vlog edits!

Your editing is sO goOd 😻

Ambitious project. I may put Don Quitoxe on my reading list.

Next one could be Le comte de Monte Cristo in french ;) I couldn’t shut up about it when I was reading it. Makes me want to read it again now… !

ive only read parts of don quixote annnddd yes it's soooo long!! i felt the same way reading one hundred years of solitude as you did with don quixote - i wished it was shorter!!!

In Spanish speaking countries we have to read this book in school and honestly no one does 😂 its just way too long

I agree about reading the first 100 or so pages, then go watch some summary's on KZfaq. Probably the best way to read the whole book is to pick it up every now and again and read a few chapters. Interestingly the book has also been adapted into opera's and ballet's that are worth watching.

Kei and Leo were exuding Don Quixote eNErGY, they were so entertaining and funny!!!

11:36 But you read the English version so... sorry but it doesn't count. Just kidding xD :D Don't hate me I'm just kidding. :D

Ok I am going to put Don Quijote on my reading list.... and that's my big project 😀😀

I read that too, I'm sure it was two books. I don't even remember it being long. I do remember it being very funny mixed with social commentary that's still relevant today. It's meant to be an entertainment though, reading it fast would suck all the enjoyment out of it.

I now I'm late on the train , but wow! That's really impressive. 19 days I'm assuming you skipped the Introduction, notes on translation and the notes in the back. Still, 🥸

You're brave. I would've just bought it on Audible. Props to you though. I lnow people who are fluent in Spanish and when they read it in Spanish they still don't know all of the words.

You are seriously brave and dedicated! 😂 Very impressive. I finally finished El Principito and started El Alquimista... I'm assuming you've finished El Alquimista already???

I read it two years ago (in russian) and i spent a whole month with it, is hard to rush it without loosing the enjoyment. There were def parts i loved prologue and the second volume was much better imo, but it had so many violence in it and pretty cruel practical jokes, so was hard to love it. Though I laughed so hard when in the second novel while going to sevillia (if im not confusing places) DQ says no-no fake me went there so im going in another direction, was hilarious 😂

I've read it In Spanish

I'm on chapter 9

10:52 damn literally a minute into Don's KZfaq career you're out here starting beef with him you ain't wasting no time huh

What is your favorite book of all time?

I have not read Don Quixote, but I know all about it because I watched this video. You saved me 982 pages and now I can read something else instead. I think there is a movie. Maybe one day I will watch the movie ... or just a KZfaq review of the movie ...it is probably shorter ;)

Now read it in Spanish :)

I want to go to don Quijote soooo bad and run around and be crazy and buy all the junk!!!

6:35 You’re not Japanese if you don’t have Pikachu 😅😅

I need english subb
