Reading Don Quixote

I have been reading the novel Don Quixote for about two months. The version I am reading has about 1,040 pages with about 1,100 footnotes. I am on around page 120. I feel like I will still be reading the book on my deathbed, no matter how many years away that is.

I do like the book and the translation. I thought Herman Melville's Moby Dick was long at about 850 pages. I'm afraid to ever pick up War and Peace.
