Ishmael is calling you!
(albeit 405 years too late)
2010 is the year of the Windmill
In 1605 a novel appeared that has become one of the most beloved
stories of European literature. It was the history of Don Quixote, the
tall, gaunt knight-errant astride his fallible steed, with his
potbellied, illiterate squire, Sancho Panza. These eccentric characters
are as famous as Sinbad, Tarzan, Odysseus, Hamlet, or Superman. Don Quixote
was immediately embraced by his countrymen; it is a testament to the
novel and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's vivid characterization that
the character of Don Quixote is still utilized to mock politicians and
satirize the self-righteous.
Next scheduled meeting: TBD The book has been selected and the dicks have not. We plan on reading this classic novel during January and February. The schedule and reading assignments are yet to be fixed. |
