Which translation are you reading? The copyright-free translation that's used in most printings is extremely awkward and excises many of the most poetic passages from the original novel. I reccomend either the Leonard Wolf or the Lowell Bair, both readily available in paperback through amazon.com. Do enjoy, though!
