I haven't read a book since I went to see widespread panic and Umphrey's McGee last summer because I've been listening and going to shows for 11 months. Hopefully shitposting here again will give me motivation to crack my backlog but it's almost festival season :^(

The Oxford classics edition of Melville has decent notes. It's also a beautiful translation in its own right
>>8035122
well all right then, it's also 9$
>>8035139
I got a great used copy for about 3 bucks on thriftbooks
>>8034988
Based on my experiences in English courses, that makes sense.
>>8034508
It's not exactly a translation, but Hughes' is probably the best.

You should literally be shot.
To be perfectly honest...
...I only read about two books a year (if that)
I just read a lot of 'Children's Editions' of classic books when I was young.
>>8035540
It's the best rendering of the story in English. Go learn to read Latin if you want the exact thing.
>>8035769
As far as a translation goes, Mandelbaum and Melville are both up there to me. But I just give the edge to Melville because of the notes and because the stories are given titles
No wonder this board has really gone to shit
