I really missed you were after such a big task, doi la selpa'i ! Great work.
I really think this is the way forward, making big, relevant work (both translations and originals).
Test on the field things what works and what doesn't ( I like the use of diacritics!) and setting a reference for discussion.
Are you planning to actually publish it (e.g. on Lulu?) I think that would be a very good thing, even if just one or two of us buy it, it would be nice to point at Lulu to show others that yes, real books in Lojban do exist.
