For anyone who has read the Quaran -- What version (English translation) do you recommend reading?

Apparently according to Islamic scholars the Pickthall (notsure on spelling)/Penguin version are the closet translation into english that resembles the Qu'ran in Arabic.

Awesome, thanks Leckie. I've been trying to find that info also.

The Quran is the only book in the world which claims that nothing has been and can be changed in it,As Allah himself has taken the responsibility of its originality and protection.Recent research carried out has also proved that its verses are so sciintifically calaculated ,that any change in it will at once be pointed out.More over it is a tradition in Muslim cultures to learn it by heart right after it was revealed,and millions of muslims learn it by heart as it was revealed till today.
