Just got this translation of Don Quixote, but I also have the Grossman edition. Which one is a better first-read?

>Reading a book twice

There's so much good stuff out there to read, why would someone waste their time reading the same book twice?

Great books are meant to be read at least twice.
Unless you're reading some scholar interpretation and hate thinking for yourself.

I reckon I'll be reading Brothers Karamazov some 5-7 times during my life.

That's the most plebeian opinion I've ever seen. You will gain more from reading a great book five times than reading five different great books.

There's nothing wrong with reading a book you found interesting more than once, but don't kid yourself into thinking you have a superior understanding because you read the book five times.

I want to get the original in Spanish, but I keep finding altered Latin America Spanish instead of the EU-Spanish. Anyways I might just have to order online. Which version is good?

I have, and it's definitely not worth reading it twice.

>>7147046
It really isn't, the only books worth reading twice is by unorthodox authors such as Joyce.

If this is what you think 4chan and especially /lit/ really isn't the right place for you.

Here, have some Jesus to calm your soul.

Isn't she that dumb whore who posts on /soc/ or /r9k/?

I didn't ask for anyone's opinion or for mine to be validated; I asked a simple fucking question pertaining to translations. If I wanted to start a discussion on whether one should read multiple translations of a book or not, I would have. Further, you're not going to convince anyone here, so stop wasting your time (which might be an unthinkable thought considering that you browse NEET-central).

Idk tbh, got her pics from some thread on /int/. Grossman is the better translation btw.

But I'm allowed to talk about anything ITT that has to do with your OP, since I am not off-topic posting fam.
