I went and grabbed a bunch of Grimm's fairy tales from Gutenberg. I still need to tweak my algorithm some; the most annoying thing I find is punctuation, especially quoted strings (i.e. speech) so that the output text looks like there is some valid speech in there and not just randomly scattered quote marks.
