Morning,
Why wouldn't you like to read Thus Spake Zarathustra?
In my opinion it's a really good idea to translate
more standard literature beyond {le cmalu noltru} and
{lo selfri be la .alis. bei bu'u la selmacygu'e}.
Translating only fantasy/mystery just helps restricting the community
in my opinion.
