Wants start to read about daoism (Daodejing, Zhuangzi).

Hi, I wanted to read Daodejing and Zhuangzi but I wonder about translations. Currently I own *Tao Te Ching* by Derek Lin and *Zhuangzi The Complete Writings* by Brook Ziporyn.

Are these a good translations? What are their advantages and disadvantages? Do you prefer/are there better translations?

Ah, and I would have also an additional question, zhuangzi consists quite long introductionary part, would I lose much if I would directly go to the inner chapters?

Thanks in advance.
