Morbidly curious to input Finnegans Wake.
Can we do a bot that just posts religious texts put through this. I think that would be equal parts funny, confusing and WW3 causing.
What's weird about this is the choice of book. Like blinkist or whatever works not too bad because it's mostly nonfiction. Conversely you could see it working for like shakespeare, or even like war and peace. Great Gatsby is like bottom of the list.
