    So I'm trying to read The Deer and the Cauldron on spcnet but its too complicated as in the names and references but I heard that John Minford's translation is more readable

    It is, but I think your understanding of the story should be a bit better with the spcnet version.

    Here's Foxs translation.
    Now compare to John Minford's translation.

    Foxs version is more faithful to the original work. Anyway, it's up to your taste. If you prefer Minford's translation, it's available at amazon.

    So one is not only free but more detailed and faithful while you have to pay for a simplified version?

    Naa I'm stingy

    If I want a book I go to the libararuy and order it from their

    If I want a sweet I don't pay for it I ask my friends to pay and promise to pay back but I never do

    If I find money like a 5 pound note and I see the person who drooped I'll keep it

    Stingy not poor

    How's the first line related to books? Are you saying books are cheaper in a library? They aren't (unless it's selling used books, those are the freaking best shops ever).

    I don't buy I tell them to order the book from some central library where they keep shit ton of books and then I borrow it to read and bring back after I'm finished with paying a single penny
