Do people on /lit/ unironically force themselves to read this old man garbage?

I found that article very persuasive. His choices for comparison really do show P&V at their weakest.
I've never been tempted to read Russian literature before, but the excerpts in that article were very compelling.
Thanks for the post, I might pick up the Fusso/Guerney translation of Dead Souls
I like Garnett.
Why is this thread a disaster? Any Iliad translation thread will give the best 5 translations within a few posts, and the only translators mentioned here are P & V and Garnett so far.
