I hated it when I tried to read it a few years ago.

View original postSadly, I don't speak spanish. Can anyone give some insight on the most....natural sounding translation of the novel in English? I don't care for sounding too much like Cervantes because honestly, I'm no literary genius. I won't appreciate it as much as most folk. But I do want to read the story and still appreciate the symbolism and all that fun stuff. If I get anything too dry, I already know I'll lose interest and put it aside.
It might have been the translation, or it might have been that the same thing happens over and over again and I got irritated.
In case it was the translation's fault I'd suggest you avoid the Everyman edition.

My literature teacher in high school mentioned she couldn't get through it. I've never cared to try *NM*
