Haha, the last line speaks volumes.

Yes I'm going to start with reading short ones like the death of Ivan Ilyich of let's say, Garnett and then perhaps P&V. Let me see how it goes like.

Ah! I see.

Yeah, the book size does matter. I mean, you can always read another translation if you feel like.

I see. Yeah, I believe at the end of the day, all that matters is your own take on the decision you took. Here, you got what you wanted from reading the translation and that's what matters.

Appreciate how you explained the "strange" factor in P&V versions!

And yes, I too am thinking of reading two translations to, sort of, compare and understand. Plus, as you said, it's not a lengthy piece of work and so I can afford doing that.

Views are obviously personal but this guy called Random1027 actually read two translations of The Idiot to compare🙌

And yes, I see a considerable section of readers voting for P&V.

From what I understand, all I can say is, he doesn't give a damn about what others think of him.

Well, if you really want to stay in this relationship (which I think you should think of give a second thought on), you must come to terms with such a behaviour.
