Which translation will you be reading?

I'll have to check out this version. I'm a big fan of Martha Argerich's interpretation. The Alfred Brendel isn't shabby either!

First one that came to mind was Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. That book is a riot! It breaks all the rules.

Interesting. I love how different artists' interpretations can be so unique. I got the Alban Berg complete Beethoven string quartets on CD boxset at a super cheap price. Also have some LaSalle quartet doing the late quartets. Both are very fine.

And Rilke!

I've only read English translations, but some favorites are
Goethe
E.T.A. Hoffman
Mann
Kafka

The original cartoon is the only essential Grinch. It's only a half hour running time, less without commercials. Not a fan of the Jim Carrey film. Is there more than one?
