I second the recommendation of Natsume. I Am a Cat is so delightfully snobby.

I should have Sun and Steel done sometime soon, as well as the rest of Izumi Kyoka's Japanese Gothic Tales (just need to finishing proofreading/fixing errors). There was some anon that said he was going to have Confessions of a Mask scanned soon too.

And I'm planning to scan Akiko Yosano's Midaregami poems as soon as they come in from the library, though I don't think you're interested in those. Still, there's stuff on the horizon!

I already have Confessions of a Mask scanned.
I just need to run it through ScanTailor to make it halfway presentable.
