I'm reading this and I expected it to be this great gem of literature, but it's just people farting, vomiting and falling over, have I been duped?
>>25359545>great gem of literature>people farting, vomiting and falling overWhat's the contradiction?
>>25359545So you're not Spanish. It's okay.
>>25359545it's very weird, even in Spanish, it has this experimental quality to it.
>>25359545And? Do you hate fun or something?
>>25359562I'm reading it in Spanish
>>25359638Are you Spanish?Because if you're Mexican or something, you are not fully Spanish and you will never appreciate farting and vomiting and falling over any more than a Frenchman will. I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing.
>>25359545it gets good in the last 100 pages I promise
>>25359545If you're not the type of guy whose into Knight Errantry on a hardcore levelIt's probably not for youMaybe read King Arthur by Steinbeck and then try it againI was suspicious of its greatness reading the Prologue poems but once he got to the laughing hookers in chapter 2 (or was it 3?), I was soldIf you never envisioned yourself as a knight growing up, I could see not liking itBut I played Runescape 2 and World of Warcraft in my youth and the book is just fucking awesome
>>25359719Huh?
>>25359545So far the part about Rocinante getting beat up with sticks for wanting to bang some mares was my favourite
>>25359545I very much loved it. I only read the first part. He kinda reminds me of an autistic anime weeb, but of their time.
>>25359545Wait till you read Rabelais
>>25359545There is quite of sarcasm about life in general. That’s not immediately understood if you are young. Half of my family has its roots there, but I only finished it as an adult.
