@larand That book came up a lot in Esperanto stuff. :) I used to read mailing lists in Esperanto. Could find short stories and general discussion.

@matigo If the idea intrigues you, Arika Okrent's In the Land of Invented Languages gives a fun account of the history and flavor of various languages through the author's personal experience with them.
