I'm getting the feeling this is the "Pomp and Circumstance" of the rest of the world outside the US, lol. #dq25
Another Don Quixote rabbit hole: Ch. 36, the Innkeeper says: "We'll have some gaudeamus" - which apparently means "a bit of a party" and comes from a latin drinking song popular among uni students?
Video below, familiar tune. #dq25
Seemed odd Grossman had no note.

Currently drowning in end-of-semester work for my teaching credential program and have resigned myself to spending the last two weeks of 2025 just reading an absurd amount of Don Quixote because I'm behind. Lol. Such grand intentions back in January. 📖 #dq25

#dq25 Thinking about DQ as a "buddy comedy": even down to the Skinny Guy/ Fat Guy trope: Laurel & Hardy, Jay & Silent Bob.
One podcast I listed to dismissed it as kind of tired/tropey, clearly failing to realize that (like with Frankenstein) It Wasn't A Cliche Yet.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how "meta" Don Quixote is? It a book about books, and novels, reading and authorship?
Like, making fun of prologues in the prologue?
And if you didn't already know, in Vol. 2, the world is one where Vol. 1 exists and the characters know they are famous. 🤯 #dq25

The downfall of society is not going to keep me from reading a little bit of this weird ass book everyday. I made my 2025 plan and I’m going to stick to it, even if it comes to barricades.

Antepenultimate chapter of Quixote and what an absurdity.
They meet someone from the fake Quixote vol. 2 who actually *met* a false Quixote/Sancho pair!?!
So *is* the book false? Or real, but based on false actors? Was Avellaneda simply duped?
What even *is* reality, amirite? #dq25

Surprising bit of self awareness here from DQ regarding Sancho's familiarity #dq25 "In truth I consider it a great fault, both on your part and on mine: on yours, because you do not have a high opinion of me; on mine, because I do not allow a higher opinion."
