Reading long classic books can be a frustrating experience for many, due to the daily distractions of contemporary life.
That's why a retired Spanish engineer had the brilliant idea of making his country's most celebrated classic -- Don Quixote-- more accessible by publishing it on Twitter, one message at a time.

He plans to send the final tweet on April 22, the anniversary of the death of Don Quixote author Miguel de Cervantes, from Alcazar de San Juan, believed to be the birthplace of the author, AFP reports.
The account, which posts 28 fragments of the novel every day, has 8,600 followers which include Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
Its cover picture shows white-washed windmills, an homage to the best-known episode of the book when Don Quixote fights windmills he imagines are giants.
Set in La Mancha region, Don Quixote narrates the endearing tale of a mad knight errant and his sidekick Sancho Panza.
