Week 8 was our 2nd week off from Don Quixote. This is the discussion thread for Week 9, comprising chapters 47 thru 52. Time to leave the Inn!

The discourse in c49 about the absurdity of chivalric novels has me thinking they were the Harlequin romance novels of the late middle ages. I think Cervantes is very much poking fun at the genre along these lines.

This week closes the first book. I don't want to say much until someone else is involved, but we know Quixote is being taken home. Am very curious about what the second book will bring.
