Oh, snap, we've been working on importing Gutenburg to LR:

https://www.languagereactor.com/m/t_en_-

We're ranking them using the download count, and also this prompt to chatGPT (it's primarily for language learners):

"Is this text engaging and interesting for a modern reader, someone not into fine literature? Rate the text excellent, good, ok or poor. I don't want crusty, flowery, contorted language, talking about buttons and mannerisms and the hue of the sky etc."

Then, we're rewriting the ~1000 most popular books using chatGPT to modernise/simplify the text.

Using some markdown as an internal format, drawing from the gutenberg plain text and html formats, this will go to a github repo shortly.

There's translations, and then, need to look at current best TTS voices.
