    Well done. I’m still trying to make it through Don Quixote, so I get it. I was expecting a quick, fun read, but it is really more like trying to binge a soap opera. sure, it has very episodic chapters, but also a through-line and recurring characters that disappear and come back later, and it just keeps going.

    Don’t tell me how it ends, but just tell me if it’s worth it… does it eventually build to something satisfying?

      No it doesn’t LoL but I think that’s why it is what it is. I think you have to come to the conclusion that Don is a terrorist and if you don’t see it yet, here’s another chance!

          the revelation of understanding hit me so hard when I figured out that all those jackasses that walk around with their gun exposed or the dicks that bring their AR into a coffee shop… they are Don Quixote in real life! And that is frightening!

          JDVance is fucking Sancho Panza almost as a mirror… life imitating art
