I thought I did this back in the Alice days, but OK again:
Any novel by Henry James or Edith Wharton.

Origin of Species?
"On Denoting" by Berty?

Three Men in a Boat.

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.
