Gilgamesh is such a good story. Genuinely a great read thousands of years later. Other amazing ancient books include Dante's Inferno and Chaucer's Canterbury tales. The latter of which had stories so hilarious that I was actually on the floor, laughing.

Some humor and epic stories are timeless, even over millennia. :)
