I'm reading the Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek. I've only seen it mentioned on /lit/ twice but it's incredible so far. Its picaresque and so obviously nods to Don Quixote but Svejk is a great look into Czech national feeling during WW1. Svejk is a lovable misfit who bumbles his way through the war. Its 752 pages in my edition but it reads so quickly, after 3 days I've read 370 pages already. The only thing I'm concerned about is that the book is unfinished, and Hasek died before finishing part 4 of a planned 6 so I'm worried that the book will leave me feeling unsated after putting so much time into the life of Svejk.

One of the funniest books I've ever read.
