Introduction

Eric Rostad: My goal is to read 200 of the great books over the next 10 years. He'll talk a bit about each book, tie ideas together from a variety of genres and share what he's learning. Today I'm going to cover two books. The first is Civilizations of Ancient Iraq by Benjamin and Karen Foster. And the second book is Gilgamesh, a new translation of the ancient epic by Sophos Heli.
