  • Mood: quixotic

"Have you read Don Quixote?" "I've practically lived it."

I've remembered what I left out of my Favourite Books list: Don Quixote. A shocking omission, as it comes at least second or third in my affections and the ending always reduces me to tears.

The reason I remembered is I've just been e-mailing the Guardian to complain about a cartoon in which Cervantes is shown writing with his left hand - which he lost at the Battle of Lepanto before his literary career really took off. Need to get out more? Moi?

Meanwhile on Planet Dilbert, there are so many people I want to say this to.
