Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, Chapter 1, Paragraph 7

Having got a name for his horse so much to his taste, he was anxious to get one for himself, and he was eight days more pondering over this point, till at last he made up his mind to call himself "Don Quixote," whence, as has been already said, the authors of this veracious history have inferred that his name must have been beyond a doubt Quixada, and not Quesada as others would have it. Recollecting, however, that the valiant Amadis was not content to call himself curtly Amadis and nothing more, but added the name of his kingdom and country to make it famous, and called himself Amadis of Gaul, he, like a good knight, resolved to add on the name of his, and to style himself Don Quixote of La Mancha, whereby, he considered, he described accurately his origin and country, and did honour to it in taking his surname from it. Just a sidenote, Cervantes is making fun of La Mancha since it also refers to a stain.

TIM-ELVIS' OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 7
As promised, this paragraph is devoted entirely to our good friend Quesadilla renamed himself (not unlike the artist formerly known as Prince and now known as Prince again).

Sentence 1: First, let me ask you what Cervantes and a conservative criminal court judge have in common? Right, they both like to crank out long sentences. And all I am saying is that he might consider going easy on his readers and at least give us some time off for good behaviour. Anyway, after renaming his horse, Quesadilla figures he deserves one, too. So after eight days of thinking (which qualifies him as a slow processor in my book), Quesadilla decides to call himself Don Quixote. There doesn't seem to be much rational for this other than it sounds better than the Spanish word for cheese.

Sentence 2 and the last sentence in Paragraph 7: But he isn't content to just call himself Don Quixote. He reasons that the French knight Amadis, who he admired, doesn't just call himself Amadis. He called himself "Amadis of Gaul" so people could distinquish him from other Amadis' such as "Amadis of Philly" and "Amadis of Bakersfield." So he calls himself Don Quixote of La Mancha so people will blame his deeds on his birthplace.

Okay, that's it for Paragraph 7. Tomorrow we tackle Paragraph 8 (which is a whopper). It is also the last paragraph of Chapter 1. Seems like we are just flying through the book now.
