I'm currently reading Don Quixote right now actually.

Does it get any better, or is it just going to be
>Don Quixote gets in fight
>gets beat up
for the next 800 pages?

It's pretty damn repetitive so far.

Don Quixote is a 400-year-old novel, the first one ever.
It is significant but we're way too modern for that. No use in reading it whole, just some important sections for Spanish-language culture references.
