You seem to be in a jolly mood today, maybe you could pick out something
*worth* translating.

Suggest something out of copyright, with reasonably modern language,

actually read.

I thought I did this back in the Alice days, but OK again:
Any novel by Henry James or Edith Wharton.
If that is too much (but there are a few that are as short as Alice, even after the draught), how about any non-dialect short story of Mark Twain (1601, A Medieval Romance)?
If that is too small, how about The Dubliners or any part thereof, or Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man?
Origin of Species?
"On Denoting" by Berty?
I can't remember where Virginia Wolf's stuff is at the moment.
The first page -- and all the footnotes thereunto appertaining -- of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
(East Lynne, Abie's Irish Rose -- probably not, since both use dialect -- maybe Major Barbara or something a bit earlier or The Importance of Being Earnest -- nice chance for lujvo there)
Three Men in a Boat.
That is about all I can read from here without getting up or changing my glasses. Enough to keep even xorxes busy for a week or two.

You have no idea how much money that "ditzy flier's" estate makes, do
you?

Probably not, but surely significantly less than various game producers do -- books, after all, have significant production costs. And I doubt that PP and VN together have gone double platinum as one game was reported to have done in its first week on sale.
<<
Umm, it was? What game? By whom?

Yes. The Legend of Zelda. (question ambiguous) trl by raizen, dismissal by Kominek (with prejudice). All on 9-10 July 2002.
