As I started reading The Anatomy of Criticism I realized Northrop Fry has read more books then I will probably read in my entire life. I love how he relates everything to so many different books. The only thing I don't like is if I don't understand what he is talking about then I have to look up the book and read a little bit about it. I thought it would be much harder to read yet I really do enjoy reading it. Other than Don Quixote this was the book I was looking forward to the lest. It will be much better now that I'm not as afraid of it.

When i first saw the reading lists for this class i was excited to start with Don Quixote and yet a little scared. I have never read a book quite so large before and was a little intimidated. I had heard of the story before yet had no idea what it was about. When i first started I realized how ridiculous it really was. I thought it was a story about a brave knight who embarks on crazy adventures and saves beautiful woman and children. I had no idea that it was about a weird old man going on strange missions he invents. I am looking forward to reading the rest. It seems to change so much and I have no idea where it is going to go next.
