I just got to Chapter 10, page 70. I am 1) surprised by how much violence has occurred thus far and 2) the amount of meta-references to literature and criticism. Part of the latter is the frame narration, which I find confusing so far, at least inasmuch as to why it deepens Don Quixote's adventures.
I cannot fathom how the fact that Don Q and Pancho are repeatedly beaten the hell out of. I didn't realize how often this would happen, as they're basically 5 for 5 as far as I've read. That's a lot of beatings.
I got just past the windmill scene, which was as humorous as all the adaptations I've seen or read would suggest. I liked that.
