The version available here at MobileRead by GrannyGrump is excellent.
I have two translations of this novel.

One is an older translation, and the other one is translated by the famous team of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. I have yet to read this newer translation. I enjoy comparing sections of different versions - especially Proust.
I've always read Huckleberry Finn in its original language and did the same for James, but kudos to you.
