I'll start: Lovecraft

Who's the best translation of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy? P/V and the Maudes sound best so far; but I've heard P/V make the authors sound too similar. Should I go for translators for the certain authors or get different translators for the individual books? what's a good site for pdfs? I'd rather compare paragraphs than rely upon anons, no offence lads

Which translator of the russians has the best translations? I've heard good things about Volokhonsky and Macduff; I also see that the two Maudes(?) are used quite abit. Also, are the translations used by Oxford any good?

what is some literary sounding music

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little SCOUNDREL??? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class at the Military Engineering College of St. Peter-sperg, and I've been involved in numerous secret meetings with the Petrashevsky circle, and I have over 300 confirmed gambling debts.
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, SCOUNDREL. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, mark my fucking words >:^(
