10. Favorite Classic Book
Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes
Alonso Quijano is the most endearing and wonderful hero that I’ve ever encountered as he and his ‘squire’ Sancho Panza set out to save the world and rescue Dulcinea, who he imagines is his princess. I cannot tell you what this story means to me. I loved poor Don Quixote, as he names himself, from the first. If one has to go insane, what is better than being a hero who saves maidens and fights monsters, even if they are only windmills? Alas, reality is harsh and is doubly so to the poor deluded hero…
It is a much deeper story and is very long but I urge everyone to read it once.
