Is there a good (or even bad) translation of the talmud (preferably
babylonian although the jerusalem will do) into English.  I feel it
would be both entertaining and rewarding reading from what I have heard
but do not feel up to learning aramaic (I tried to learn greek to read
Plato in the original (not to mention Herotodus) and that cured me of
learning new languages).  Also I lost 1/4 of my bible so if there is a
recomended english translation of the bible I wouldn't mind either.
(Needless to say I am only really interested in the old testament (and
don't give me any gruff about using that term or I will give you a
lesson in popular linguistic philosophy)).
