Ulysses
Symposium
Aristophanes
Shakespeare here and there (not just the puns)
The funniest classic novel?
I understand everything in your list except the Symposium, please explain how it is funny.
Robinson Crusoe.
Yeah, Don Quixote is the funniest book I've read
I don't think I can. Near the end is where I laugh (I've read it 3 or 4 times). When Socrates and Alcibiades interact and exclaim "Good God!" it gets to me. Like the buildup of Alcibiades sitting next to Agathon and then seeing Socrates there, and then afterwards when Socrates cries for help, i laugh out loud.
Thirding Don Quixote, specifically the Penguin Classics translation. One of the funniest books I've ever read, regardless of time period.
I too find it odd that everyone always references the windmill scene, when it's like on page 50 of a 900-page book. One of my favorites is the hammer-mill being mistaken for a monstrous creature made of metal.
Moby Dick is quite cheeky at times
Are the english translations of Don Quixote done on Classical English or Modern English
