Perhaps start with the RK Narayan version, which gives you the most important parts of the story? He's a lovely writer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mahabharata_(Narayan_book)

I'm not quite sure which translation is the best for the whole work as a verse epic. The fragments I've read were so dry it wasn't fun to read.

Thanks! I'll give the RK Narayan version a try :)
