Guys, HELP.

I'd like to read Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.

Should I get the newer Penguin Classics translations, or the Modern Library editions (the "revision of a revision")?

I'm trying to make a decision today because I could nab the 6-pack of ML books from Barnes & Noble for 30% off. Otherwise I'll wait until all the PC ones are out. I don't mind waiting if it's a superior translation.

Penguin is always a last resort. How did you not learn this yet.

Despite the legit criticisms of the translation, the moncrieff is the classic english Proust. Get it.

The Penguin translations are only good for the ones Lydia Davis translates (I think only Swann's Way). The Modern Library translations are, at this point, very nice and readable through and through.
