I am going to read every book written before 1000 AD. I used the Wikipedia Ancient literature article to create a list in a format I like.

It is grouped by civilization, so first I will read everything Sumerian written before 1000AD in order, and then everything Egyptian written before 1000AD in order etc.

Will probably put it on github or something eventually. Also I put secondary sources in relevant positions, for example "Enheduana: The Complete Poems of the World's First Author by Sophus Helle".

What do you think?
I have autism please be nice.

I will actually learn latin for the latin section which I will read in like 4 years since it will coincide with my historical linguistics research during phd. For everything else, I'm not learning niggerslopshit languages.
