>I have read Gilgamesh, The Iliad and the Odyssey, Hesiod's Work and Dyas and his Theogony, all of the Greek plays excluding those of Menander and one play by Euripides (Ion), I have read both the Histories and the Peloponnesian war, I have read some of Plutarch and some of Plautus, I have read all of Terence, I have read The Aeneid, the Eclogues, and yes, the Georgics too, I have read Juvenal's Satires, Petronius's Satyricon, the Golden Ass, the City of God and the confessions, I have read the Prose Edda, the Nigelungen Lied, The Prince, and I am currently reading Jerusalem Delivered by Tasso and Ovid's Metamorphoses.
I think that is pretty good, more than a few gaps, but I'm getting there.

Any particular favorites that wouldn't be considered obvious? I'm very interested in the Greek plays but I don't really want to read them in translation so I'll be reading extremely slowly at first which puts me off of prioritizing them.
