Why is Don Quixote your favorite? It was tedious to get through. Full of great wisdom though. I am an Amerimutt and my favorite book changes constantly but right now it is pic related and also Demons by Dostoevsky.

I'm interested in the philosophy of literary figures created in our novels. I think philosophy offers an argumentative explanation for deriving meaning or value in our reality. However, some authors are capable of doing the similar thing but through literature. Rather than proposing a structured argument that follows discourse, reasoning, logic, etc, they are painting a picture. What Cervantes does with Don Quixote is to offer a glimpse of how this man's imagination, or his perceived reality, affects his own value system and essentially those around him. There's countless of examples in both books of Don Quixote that state that his personalized philosophy or value system, no matter how ridiculous or archaic, touches other people. I think this selfsame philosophy of Don Quixote that is embedded in fantasy does the same with the readership, especially me of course. I genuinely love the color, which Cervantes paints for us, of the world in which Don Quixote sees the world.
Also I am a big fan of Dostoyevsky and I see that he does a similar thing as well. The two big attributes about the author is is talent in creating these dramatic situations in which his characters find himself in. They are always so thrilling and this is the central object of attraction for me with Crime and Punishment. But in The Brothers Karamazov he continues to pull from his talent in writing, but also paints these pictures of the protagonist's personalize philosophy. Especially the philosophy of Alyosha, which is so earnest and assured in the moral problem proposed in the book countless of times. He even propagates the constant arguments for the issues of faith, i.e. how could God exist when there is suffering. He does this by painting the picture of Vanya's problem with faith.
So I'm drawn to Don Quixote for the same reason I'm drawn to Alyosha and Vanya. Both authors don't directly introduce the doctrines of their respected, personalized philosophies. But rather they introduce the people in which these values are harbored. Reading these long accounts of the story involving both of these characters creates a relationship with the reader. I'm there as they face their moments of bliss, doubt, redemption, and so on. I remember during the second book whenever Don Quixote's senses were slowly coming back, I felt pretty sunken. His character wasn't of the same caliber within the first book. He was growing older and gaining his reason back and soon the color of his philosophy began to fade as he began to doubt his notions of value and his self.
Would you recommend demons?

This is true, meaning when within fiction or at least a book in which plot and feeling is seemingly primary has a deeper meaning within. Can have a very different effect upon the reader although one must make sure not to use overly fictional examples as anecdotal evidence for the writers person beliefs, as the Left often does hence their bad media (I don't mean News).

I've never done one but I know quite a bit about anthropology so I'd be frank to estimate mostly North Germanic with some West Germanic and minor Baltic and Slavic influence something along the lines of 70/20/5/5 considering my family history.

Also Sprach Zarathustra and the Nibelungenlied because I suck for absolute individualism, meritocracy, aristocracy and philosopher kings even though it's rather unlikely and the Nibelungenlied is great because it's one of the few if not *supposedly* the only story where the hero does not go through the traditional hero's journey.

I did one of those DNA tests a little while ago expecting to come back with mostly Scottish and Norn Iron genetics. I would not have been shocked if there was some cross-border Bong or Republic of Potato contamination.
It turns out I’m one eight Portuguese.
How the fuck did this happen?
Did one of my grandmothers shag a Portugee sailor and cuck one of my grandfathers?
I’m waiting for our next big family gathering to let my grandmas know that I am privy to their harlotry. Hopefully the guilty one confesses and the innocent ones life will be spared.

Iberian sailors are pretty common in Ireland. We had miniature pirate states recognised by Elizabeth I so we were hooked up all the way now to Africa. Having Tuareg blood in you is pretty common in Scotland because of their shipping routes. So it could just be all your great great great great grandmothers fucked a lot of Portuguese instead of just one dude more recently.
