You're assuming I don't want to read it. I meant the population at large.

"More standard" literature? Science fiction and mystery novels would
provide a means of developing the whole language and one's own translation
skills, along with being a far more popular type of reading material than
philosophy.
And my point of stressing quantity over quality is based on the small
number of Lojban users. Popular texts would (or at least might) attract
more people.
