Which Translation?

I don't know if anyone has considered this, but with this novel, I think the translation could be important. The version I have is the one Oprah selected for her book club a couple years ago -- also the one pictured on our "home page." Translators are Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. If we all have the same translations, then our page numbers will be the same and the wordies will as well.

What do we think? Is there another translation which may be better?

Way to go! I think this is currently the most common translation. I think Amazon lists that particular translation for about $11 if anyone is interested.
