Hey /lit/, first time poster here.
You guys don't seem to have a /stupid questions general/ thread on here so I hope you don't mind if I open this thread for my stupid question:
What version(s) of "The Book of the New Sun" is (are) recommended?
(pic related, for example, is from Orb (I think))

Why would you need a specific 'version'? Book was written in English, brah.
It's english so literally whatever the fuck you want
>>9063538
The one with the coolest cover

There are (there always are), but who's got time to figure out which? I'm assuming you're not buying physical.
It's not a big deal anyway. You're reading it, not wiping your arse with it (I assume).
>>9063612
Although I should say that if you've got an e-reader, you can very easily pirate the thing.
I looked on Amazon and unless I'm missing something, the edition that you posted is the only one that's in print.
>>9063622
I was planning to.
I dislike reading on tablets and most e-readers are too small for my liking (or cost a fortune when sized appropriately).

>You're missing something.
I'll take your word for it, I suppose.
>>9063651
I'll order the version published by Orb.
Bookstores in my country have terrible selections when it comes to science fiction or fantasy so I won't even bother to look.

I own a different publisher's edition, which I bought a few months ago.
OP has autism to be worrying about different editions of an english language work
>>9063538
you should get this version, OP
ISBN: 1840226617

>Reading a translation
>Missing the translator's note at the end of the first book
>Not sitting down with the original manuscript, Roget's Urthsaurus, and a nice pot of brain fluid to puzzle it out yourself.
Never stop plebbin, /lit.,
