I just finished Karamazov and loved the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, but I can't seem to find any Nabokov done by them.

Oh, I was told always to avoid Nabokov's translations since he tried for literalism over readability or poeticality... I don't know, maybe I'll just go for the Constance Garnett one since it's cheap and in the public domain.
