Don Quixote by Miquel de Cervantes, Chapter VI, Paragraphs 4-8

The first that Master Nicholas put into his hand was "The four books of Amadis of Gaul." "This seems a mysterious thing," said the curate, "for, as I have heard say, this was the first book of chivalry printed in Spain, and from this all the others derive their birth and origin; so it seems to me that we ought inexorably to condemn it to the flames as the founder of so vile a sect."

TIM-ELVIS' OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 4:
The first book put into the priests hands was called The four books of Amadis of Gaul (remember him...though I think Cervantes is messing with us because how can the first book be four books). The priest points out that this was the first book of chivalry (Miss Manners for Knights) printed in Spain. It is therefore the mother of all of the other books so the priest thinks it therefore needs to be killed (he obviously never saw the movie Alien if he thinks he can kill the mother).

"Nay, sir," said the barber, "I too, have heard say that this is the best of all the books of this kind that have been written, and so, as something singular in its line, it ought to be pardoned."

TIM-ELVIS' OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 5:
The barber/doctor argues that it is supposed to be the best chivalry book ever written (how many times have we heard that) and should be spared.

"True," said the curate; "and for that reason let its life be spared for the present. Let us see that other which is next to it."

TIM-ELVIS' OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 6:
The priest backs down and agrees to put the book aside for now.

"It is," said the barber, "the 'Sergas de Esplandian,' the lawful son of Amadis of Gaul."

TIM-ELVIS' OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 7:
The second book was basically a sequel, The son of Amadis of Gaul.

"Then verily," said the curate, "the merit of the father must not be put down to the account of the son. Take it, mistress housekeeper; open the window and fling it into the yard and lay the foundation of the pile for the bonfire we are to make."

TIM-ELVIS' OBSERVATIONS ON PARAGRAPH 8:
Sequels generally suck so the priest tells the housekeeper to chuck it out the window to start the bonfire.

Geez, I'm exhausted. If these guys go through a hundred books one at a time, this will take forever. Let's hope something exciting speeds this up in the next few paragraphs.
