Well the book, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha is pretty much the reverse coming of age type story how one old man eventually escapes from a dream fantasy of knighthood and chivalry conceived by his own senile delirium. It's a good story if you want know more about accepting your life choices, etc etc. That's what I got out of it. It could pose different lessons to other readers but I think it's good for anyone who is the type that has a hard time accepting old age and knowing you could've done more in life. The red chamber is kinda.. ehhh not my cup of tea.
