Aha! This did not occur to me until now, but of course you are the perfect person to ask: what translation of the Aeneid should I pick up for maximum user enjoyment?
For reference, I know effectively nothing about Latin, and *am ashamed* have never read the Aeneid before, though in my defense partially because I wanted a good translation -- my sister had her experience of Dante ruined by a horribly boring translation, which makes me sad because I adore Dante to bits and pieces.
