The only ones I did buy were the Iliad and the Odyssey as translated in prose by E.V.Rieu (I am not a native speaker, thus I feared the verbose of Pope, Fagles or Lattimore would be a bit difficult, but I did find the prose translations healthy enough to enjoy wholeheartedly).

As for the Penguin Hardcover edition: I did not deal with any troubles - they have sewn bindings and the covers wear off, but quite slowly. I managed to read the Iliad in 12 days, while the Odyssey I read in 8. And the results are as you can see.
