Reddit mentions of Analects: With Selections from Traditional Commentaries (Hackett Classics)

The best place to start, I think, is with the Analects. I prefer the Edward Slingerland translation, which also includes commentary from himself as well as translations of traditional Chinese commentaries.

Link?

EDIT: I wrote his name wrong. Here it is at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Confucius-Analects-Hackett-Classics/dp/0872206351

Bless him for using Pinyin! It makes me so irritated to see people coming up with new versions of the analects not using Pinyin.

Cool! I knew the instructor's name sounded familiar. Let us know how it goes.

I highly recommend Edward Slingerland's translation of the Analects because he shares verse by verse commentaries from many of the famous historical Chinese commentaries on the text. This will greatly help you understand the context in which the Analects was written, as well as help you enter into the dialogue and conversation that the Analects was meant to provoke. As far as I'm aware, Slingerland's translation is the only english translation that gives a wide variety of famous historical Chinese commentaries on the Analects, but translated into English.
