Don Quixote
Finished the book on Monday. I'll admit I got tired of it before the end.

Readings of late
As a distraction from work and relaxation, I read works not related to what I do. In the past, I've read Clancy, Grisham, and others of their ilk. Lately, for lack of more modern fiction, I've turned to older authors.

A few weeks ago, I read through the original Alice in Wonderland. Then a play of Ibsen's. Now I'm over halfway through Don Quixote, but I stopped for a while to zip through C.S. Lewis's A Horse and His Boy, which I finished yesterday.

This morning I picked up DQ again. Joel had read an excerpt of his for his school, so I started the unabridged edition, which we have in our home collection. Shortly after that, Joel rented the video, and we watched it at home. That dampened my enthusiasm to finish the book, but I plod on, like a valiant knight errant.

New Greek-Portuguese lexicon
Bought a new one today, by Carlo Rusconi, translated from the Italian. (Published last year.) Shows some Catholic bias, but seems to be good. Won't replace D&G's Shorter Lexicon, translated from English in 1984.

Was pricey at R$78,00 (about US$28.00), but I waved cash and took it for R$70,00, or US$25.00.
