I first thought of Spinoza's ETHICES, because of the logical stru= cture
of the book.

But, after more thought, it seems that it would be a trap : =A0Lojban is too much logic-oriented, so the easyness must be a delusion.

Indeed, it would be much more *challenging* to translate philosophers
that not only use a lot a logic, but also toy with poetry, for
instance Nietzsche. =A0 So I think it would be a good idea to try to
translate THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA, for instance.
