Well, it's English language, so that will give it some bias.
It would be great to hear of other suggestions that will
broaden the content.

Our Korans look terrible in HTML, so I chose #12894 instead.  Thanks
for noticing that omission.  It includes Dhammapada.

I added our Confucius #3330, though the HTML is not that good.  It's
readable, though, and our Korans are not.

I didn't see them in English.

Do you think I should add our Kalevala, and perhaps trade out an
American poet?
