(Once again, the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation.)
By far my favorite Dostoevsky work, with the intricate plotlines following the story arc of a group of revolutionaries, this is well worth the trek. Often a victim of editing (this edition includes the sometimes removed chapter of "At Tikhon's") and disputed translation, it is certainly a cornerstone to keep on the shelf along with the rest of your subversive literature.
