What's the best translation for don quixote in English for a non-native speaker? Not sure if it should be a sfw request.

If language is an issue, read the book on an E-reader for quick access to definitions. I had the John Rutherford translation, which I prefer to the more popular Edith Grossman translation.

They're all going to be pretty hard because even fluent English speakers can get confused with the old timey wordings. Give it a try with google next to you, or like anon said just use e-reader, but I like real boooks myself.
