I remembered this twitter thread a few months ago on this: https://twitter.com/kendrictonn/status/1299355615257559042 I still don't disagree with any of it and offer it here without much comment. A short summary is that perhaps it's not a good idea to make this your first and only translation, and it's worth reflecting why you would want to read a version of the book that comes to you, instead of a (more faithful) version that requires you to go to it.
