Translation
I'm abashed to admit that I haven't read any of his books as of yet. I want to pick up some copies of his books but which translation should I get? Which one is the most accurate or well known?
Thanks!!

I swear by the Pevear and Volokhonsky translations of all the Russian authors. They retain more of the Russian flavor.

I'm siding with MissScarlett on this.
