Conclusion: Don Quixote and Lord of the Rings

In this, the final episode of Why Do We Read This? I discuss the literature we've all been waiting for! Don Quixote de la Mancha! I draw parallels between the hero/sidekick duos of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza and Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee. I get into what makes these pairings not only work but actually necessary to telling a good story.

For this episode I utilized the Norton Anthology World Literature, Volume C, 4th edition.

A shout out to all of the co-hosts I have had over these last couple of years. I couldn't have done this without you all. You made this podcast work! And of course a special thank you to all of you listeners around the world. You made this a fun and engaging project.
