“What‘s the oldest book you‘ve read by publication date?” ~ @BookmarkTavern
I had to look this one up on my trusty goodreads stats page and the oldest book I‘ve read written in English is A Midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare.
I‘ve also read Tao Te Ching which was published in 401 but I read a 1997 translation so that doesn‘t count.
It‘s funny you can see when I started keeping track of the books I read and see the pub year increase. 🤓
