The Barnes and Noble edition is a Constance Garnett translation from 1922 and is shitty.
Also, I'll probably make a thread tomorrow about our first meeting. I'm getting the book from the library.
BTW, I'll be out of town from June 3 to 11 for my brother's wedding, so !@#$% can take over then if you guys want to do stuff while I'm gone. I won't have internet access.
