I read Don Quixote last year and it's possibly now one of my favourite books. It's full of memorable moments, detailed backstories for bit-part characters, charm, humour and tragic misadventures. It's such a joy to read and I genuinely never wanted it to end. Not read The Lusiadas though.

They're massively different from one another, it's impossible to compare.
Don Quixote is almost objectively one of the best novels in history, besides being a truly amazing read.
The Lusiadas is one of the most beautiful and badass epic poems of the Renaissance, up there with Inferno. There's some very good English translations, as well.

So yeah, definitely get on them.

dude read Don Quixote that book is one of the greatest novels i have ever read. The humor hasn't aged a day and the characters are some of the most lovable ever written. The only thing is Cervantes probably coulda used an editor because he does get wordy but it is still a classic.

Somewhat accurate. It was a strange feeling being thoroughly disgusted by Humbert and also feeling bad for him upon realizing he's actually really, really sick and flawed. And feeling bad for Dolores while Humbert is abusing her. The whole thing made sick, more sick than any other book I've read.
Strange, but good.
