Book - Don Quijote

Never tried this book before, but now that I'm middle-aged, perhaps it will resonate more with me than if I had tried this at a younger age. After a lot of research, I decided to go with the Raffel translation, which just happened to be at my local used-book store. The Spanish edition I decided to go with the Real Academia IV Centenario because it's a quality printing, beautiful hardbound, with sewn binding. The extras are copious footnotes to explain the archaic Spanish, along with a glossary, and definitely a steal at the price. So now I'll experiment with reading an English chapter first, then a Spanish, and vice versa, to see what works for me.
