This is a good interpretation but it really shows how pretentious and "existentially witty follow me on twitter" these people are. How can you draw an existentialist connection in one of the ver first novels written in the XVII century is beyond me.

Just finished Don Quixote and am convinced now that the windmill part only became a meme because it happens in the first 20 pages.

/r/literature is one of those subreddits that are far more educated, interesting and well-read than their 4chan counterpart, but due to the format of Reddit, it requires strict moderation not to devolve into /r/books level of shit. essentially the mods allow 1 or 2 threads a day.

that's essentially the problem with Reddit. You either get lowest-common-denomator trash, or overmoderated quality with a modicum of content. Any subreddit that manages to be active AND good blows up pretty quickly and becomes a shitheap.
