After a bit of research, I read this translation as it seemed to be the consensus online and between people I know. There's a book with annotations and key passages to go along with it, though I just read the Wikipedia entry for each chapter (sura) as I came to it and felt like there was a good deal of context and commentary.
The translation itself was very easy to read, but beautiful all the same.
Great, I do read stuff like this. Now, we are on a Buddhism forum, right? You have heard of Thomas Cleary, a wonderful translator of Buddhist texts right, and a man of some decency? Well, take a look at his approach to the Koran too: http://www.amazon.com/The-Essential-Koran-Heart-Islam/dp/0062501984
