>DQ transl-
Not even Spaniards read the original anymore. Pic rel is an official update sponsored by the Cervantes Institute. It is currently on its 8th edition

>>21711033
For me it's the Shelton translation.

>>21711067
Only retarded Spaniards. Chads read the OG.

>>21711082
Yes, the majority of spaniards no longer read the original.

FTFY

Rutherford seems a bit more fun and Grossman seems more literal. I'm still not sure which to go with.

They read streamers, you chud.

I loved the read along we had here last year, such a great book. Pic related was some oc one anon drew for the threads.

>>21711239
based. I too enjoyed the read along was good fun

Those are the best two in my opinion, you can't really go wrong with either.

>>21711147
That's weird, I'm the opposite. I find Grossman's translation easier to read and Rutherford's a bit more academic/literal.

>>21711082
where can I find the OG? It's as frustrating as trying to find OG Canterbury tales. Everything's abridged or translated or edited. Fucked

i wish spanish literary transition extended further and had like a divine comedy tier thing

Tom Lathrop's any good? Recently picked up this edition since it seems better than my old Wordsworth one which I couldn't make through due to how boring/lifeless the translation was but this one seems more readable and with character.

Ah yes, Pierre Menard's greatest

>>21711082
Why would you help a pigeon

>>21712011
Why do you talk like that man

>>21712015
because i spent the last 15 years browsing 4chan

>>21712019
So did I. Not really an excuse

>>21712023
good for you!

>>21712039
buddy you gotta stop

I read a number of excerpts before settling in Rutherford and thoroughly enjoyed it. (gizmo here enjoyed sitting with me for many hours while I read it)

Read Alexander Pope's translation. The only reputable translation there is.

I always read Don Quixote's parts in a dead serious Johny Depp voice. The world around him is a circus of mediocrity and he is trying to have high aspirations and morals.

>>21711067
We still read the OG here in latam, pleb.

>>21711033
I'm half spanish and can understand/speak, but never read a book in the language. Best version in modern Spanish? I don't have the time to go sentence by sentence with a dictionary for old spanish

>>21711147
I really enjoyed the Rutherford translation, but you really cannot go wrong with either.

>>21711239
I was there too fren, good times

>>21712517
cool cat, cool pic

>>21711239
I'm very grateful to the OP who made those threads and to /lit/frens who motivated me to read this peerless work of literature.

I love you all
