Don Quixote is 1 of my all time favorite novels & is a masterpiece of the "Picaresque" genre... plus it's funny!!! That would be my recommendation.

Butt then again... Pee In My Butt is one of the masturbatory pieces of the Urinesque genre...

Agreed
Count is darker and plodding..Although it is a great study in patience and revenge..
Go with the comedic/Satire first

The Don Quixote episode of Wishbone was pretty good

The Count of Monte Crisco... by Andre Dumbass?
You'd like that... it's about a prison break.

You say you already read Count of Mountie Crisco... so where's the question? Are you really thinking of reading that again?!
Don Quixote is a much better read, and, for me, a more life-lesson-that-needs-to-be-learned kinda tale.

No. I actually thought it was about a Canadian vampire-cop covered in cooking fat.

7 stages of Ron and Fez:
1)Man of Lamancha is a musical based on the novel Don Quixote.
2)"A Little Gossip" is a song from that musical.
3)That same song is the theme music for Dave's "Board Gossip"

I always liked The Count of Monte Cristo.
I know Don Quixote is consiered a great classic but I can only take it in snippets.

I consider myself well-read, but I never read Don Quixote. So I guess I'm not.
But Count of Monte Cristo is one of my top 5 stories of all time. Read it in 6th grade, and have read it about 10 times since.
