Thank you @DarthCoin! I'm still not finished, but I am really enjoying the production.
I (tried to) read this book in Spanish (!) in high school. I had a crazy Spanish teacher who believed that his students should try to read great spanish literature, even though our knowledge of the language was very limited. We also read Borges, Garcia Lorca, Miguel de Unamuno, and others I forget. I don't think I got much out of it then, but I later checked out all of these writers in English, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
I can't wait to get into episode 4.
Spanish is not my "natural language" too, but I like to read, write and listen / talk in Spanish. I already speak fluently 4 languages and trying to learn a bit of Greek now (but not sure if I can at my age). I like to speak multiple languages because only like that I can understand the world and always have a door open.
Sometimes, when others don't know you speak their language and you are just listening (like you do not understand) you can see if they really have good intentions with you and not talking bad about you.
The language advantage is very important.

Very true. People from the US seem to have a hard time learning other languages. I have struggled to do it my whole life. I made the most progress with Spanish.
