I would very much enjoy reading the Ethics in Lojban (generously
assuming that I would be capable to do so).

I do not understand.

You *are* saying that translating Spinoza *into Lojban* would not be
*challenging* enough? Well, I read it again. You do seem to say that.

By the way, I would still prefer the Ethics to Zarathustra, in any
language. ;p

Which brings me to another point: Do you read Latin/German? Even among
such closely related languages (not exclusively in a language-family
sense) as English vs. German/Latin, there can be considerable drifts
of meaning and interpretation during translation.

Nevertheless, I want to encourage you translate whatever you like. I
think philosophic classics are as good a point to start as any book,
and better one than many.
