oliveview Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm determined to get through it this time! I started last July and I quit about 50 pages in, but this year I am almost 100 pages and going strong. Would anyone else like to join me?

Laura Corin Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I misread your message. I thought it said, 'Anyone want to read Don Quixote for me?' My immediate thought was, 'Good luck!' I never got past about thirty pages in. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveview Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yeah Laura, I don't think I could ever get anyone to read it for me!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yes! I have it, have started it several times but have never gotten far. Reading it with someone else would be a great help. How did you want to go about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I will. I just got it from our library two days ago. It's sitting there waiting for me to start it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you give me some time to borrow the book from the library, I'm all over this :) I've always wanted to read it, but never got around to it. Do you want me to drop you a note once I get the book, or just bump this post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just wanted to say that I managed to read the whole darned book over about 5 months or so. If I can slug through it, you can, too. (just don't ask me about Crime & Punishment, okay?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveview Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 How did you want to go about this? I don't really know. We could use this thread or we could start a social group. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveview Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 I will. I just got it from our library two days ago. It's sitting there waiting for me to start it! That's great! Now go start reading!!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Oh I LOVE Don Quixote!! My grandfather used to tell me the stories from it when I was little!! :) If you read it in modern Spanish it's easier to get through. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want me to drop you a note once I get the book, or just bump this post? Get it when you can and then start. I don't think we have to all be at the same point. I'm just glad to know there are others on the journey with me. I started off reading a chapter a day. That seemed doable since they are very short. Now I am trying to reading about 30 minutes a day. I've gotten far enough into it now that it is getting pretty interesting. I will say those first 40 or 50 pages were tough. real. tough. It is getting much better and I was actually sad this morning that I had to stop reading because I was at a good part. That's what made me think to ask others here. I know how hard it can be to get started on something that seems so daunting. Not to mention, I am sure at some point I will need some encouragement! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't start the group, but you could probably start a thread in A Reader's Group since no one else is posting there at the moment. Saves starting yet another group.

Newbie & I have discussed starting something else in Sept, so hopefully others will chime in next time with title suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
