Why don't we have a sticky for recommended translations of major works? Seriously family, it'd be pretty useful.

I don't know, last time I was wondering this is when I asked about which translation of the Odyssey to read. So I decided Fitzgerald.

Everyone Else > Constance Garnett

Good arguments to be made here, almost none of them for Fitzgerald.
He's anachronistic with language to the point of obscurantism. More importantly, not only is is Lattimore the superior scholar, but also the superior poet -- he produced in his own right and was once seriously considered for the pulitzer.
Go with lattimore in the future
Or you could just figure shit out for yourself.

Best English edition of Don Quixote? I ran across one a while back at a used book store that felt like the translation really flowed, and had a lot of unobtrusive footnotes, but I can't remember the translator.

I found this humorous anon, just thought I'd acknowledge that I chuckled inwardly at that. I see the UNIX timestamp so I know you didn't make it (or did you?) but nonetheless it was humorous
I might think about it briefly before I drift off to sleep and reflect on my day
I might think about you,
idk why the fuck I wrote this

I bought the penguin edition with the Hammond translation, how fucked am I
