I may be crazy for taking this challenge

So I was challenged to read Don Quixote...all 1050 pages... in the original spanish no less. No, my friend doesn't hate me. She really thinks that reading it in the original spanish will be a cool thing. And she's probably right.

However...

There is no way I can read a book that long in spanish. There isn't enough room in the margins for all the notes I'd have to take. By the time I translate, all the subtle nuances would be gone. So why not read someone else's translation?

So I'm going to get started on the book.
