2/2 -- 's translation is consistent and effective. The gags, wisecracks & jokes are put into not too specific updated English with an implied range of references to half-visible sources like Computer Says No (Heaven Says No) or Stuff Happens. A scholarly translation, 's exists, so fair enough to try another approach. But I needed specificity about how the text is marked historically (Ming myths of Tang) and more glimpses of philosophy penguin.co.uk/books/195922/mon
