Actually, I think it gets better after the first 100 pages or so. At first
with just Sancho and Quixote bumbling from self-abusive blunder to blunder
it was very repetitive: lots of thrashings for one or the other or both,
with an occasional accidental success. But once the pair hook up with
others who are in the middle of their own stories and tales of
misfortune/adventure, the plot get more complex. Sancho and Quixote get
side-lined in favor of plots more like those from the books of chivalry that
first inspired Quixote to begin his quest. Granted, even that may get to be
repetitive, but I'll keep reading my hour or so per day see how it goes.
