Which translation?
I bought this book a little while ago but haven't started it yet. Should I start it right away or get to it when I have a chance?

I read that translation, it's Sidney Monas, and I enjoyed it very much. It didn't flow quite as smoothly as Garnett, but it lacks the archaic terms that Garnett has. Holds to Dostoyevsky's intentions rather than the Russian wording; the passages I compared with P&V were notably better. I don't think there was a time when I got hung up on a passage or felt that it was awkward or poorly worded. Also I prefer the ergonomics of mass market paperbacks. I recommend it.
A revised Garnett translation is obviously good, and I've heard good things about McDuff.

With Dostoevsky it doesn't matter because he had no style
So just buy the cheapest one
