    I read the book about a year ago and I recently I was trying to remember the name of the horse for some reason. I also completely blanked on it, and it took me a few minutes.

    I’m pretty terrible at remembering details like that. My brain just stores things relatively, like ‘the main character’s brother’, even after reading his name a hundred times.

    Anon should have just told his teacher that the horse (rocinante) is nothing compared to Sancho’s she-ass.

      I never remember the author’s name. I have consistently gotten it wrong in nearly every quiz. Lol

        Everyone knows him as Cervantes, even though his full name is Miguel de Cervantes. I live in Castilla-La Mancha and everywhere is Quijote… I even know a lady called Dulcinea… not a common name btw.

        Edit. Just read this and sorry might have come across overly pedantic. I just got up and my brain is still toast.
