1001 Nights

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-16 1:10

So I've decided that I might as well load 1001 [Arabian] Nights into my DS for a good read whenever I'm bored and have a long trip, since I'm going to be traveling a good bit this summer. What I need to know is which version is best to use.

http://www.mythfolklore.net/1001nights/lang/index.htm has translations by Burton, Dixon, Lang, Payne, and Scott, and I have no idea which of these is best to use. Anyone got a heads-up on this?

presumably, but due to the timeframe that version is likely still under copyright, and is definitely much harder to obtain as an e-text

well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if I ever feel like I should stop reading the stories midway in, then I will, but I'd at least like to give the stories a try for their historical and ethnic value.
