The Koran, translated with notes by N. J. Dawood. I purchased this many years ago, but just recently got around to reading it. It is plain prose and the chapters are not in traditional order, but it is fairly easy to read. There is an index at the back that you can use to find chapters according to their traditional order. The verses are marked, but only every few paragraphs, e.g., it has 15:49 and 15:64, if you wanted to look up an exact verse, this would not be the best book for that. This book is the 1974 printing of ISBN 0-14-044052-6. There are other editions of this book. ISBN 0-14-044542-0 is a revised edition with the text in the traditional order and also has the arabic text.
