Always keep going back to Ammianus Marcellinus, proves that Latin literature went well beyond the golden and silver ages

Have started to read a lot of hagiographies recently, so suppose I need to read a load more of those.

Also need to read a lot more Finnish to help learn the language, so that'd be a priority. Donald Duck cartoon books mostly.

Seconded - Catch 22 is a crazy and brilliant book and definitely my favourite.

Need to read - probably The Outsider, by Colin Wilson, which I started many years but gave up on too early.

This. Catch 22 is probably the only book where I was consistently laughing out loud the whole way through. So clever, so witty.
