List abandoned 3/4 of the way through. I just couldn't take any more of Jewett's homespun wisdom; I've been savaged by gentleness, mauled by kittens.

I'd swap a deranged, cadaverous psychopath from La Mancha and his fat, grasping sidekick for kittens any day.
But no. I've started this thing. I'm going to get through it.

You're being very harsh on the original odd couple! Have you previously read it in English? I adore the Smollett translation. Reading the Spanish text is one of my very few ambitions, but I'm not sure it'll happen. I'll stick to my hamfisted translations of JL Borges poems for now. Perhaps if I encourage you ardently in your endeavour, I can claim some of the glory (upon your certain success) for my own account.
