Don Quixote

Hey yall, big fan of long classics here. I did a run through most of Faulkner’s famous works this summer, now enjoying some Pynchon (GR) with a few one-offs in between. Next marquee title is Middlemarch, again with some more lighter reads in between. My question is this: I have Don Quixote on my shelf- is it actually worth reading? A few years ago I read Count of Monte Cristo, and I found myself thinking I was basically just finishing it to “round out my literary education”. Not very good compared to modern literature, but a “Mount Rushmore” title if that makes sense. So is Don Q worth the time if I have some more interesting books to tackle? Or is it just another feather in the cap?
