I think one reason we think of Don Quixote as being a good book is that it's a classic underdog tale in some ways. We like to see the little guy come out on top even when it seems likely that there is no way it can happen. That's also why non fiction books and articles about person x going up against group/corp. y are so popular I think. And it is part of the dispute of ebooks vs paper books too. It's the little guy who writes the ebook not the big corporations. And we applaud the little guy for self-publishing his/her work as well.
