I started to read The Stranger awhile ago at a bookstore and then I downloaded the ebook onto my Kindle expecting to pick up where I left off. Unfortunately, the translation on my kindle was very different from the one in the bookstore. A similar event occurred when I tried to read Meditations. This leads to me to question which is the best translation for not only this, but books translated into English in general. It seems like this should be part of the sticky. I'm willing to compress and add it, but I don't possess the literary knowledge to create it.

Maybe someday, but this will have to do for now.

What's /lit/'s opinion on John Updike? I've been thinking about getting the Rabbit tetralogy.
