Starting: Before the Muses: An Anthology of Akkadian Literature Edited by Benjamin R. Foster (This is an anthology volume.  I'm not entirely sure how I'll break it up.  The past few years, my general policy with anthology volumes has been to review each entry separately, but this book is way too long to attempt to review each entry separately. Besides, some of the entries in this volume are only a page long, or sometimes even less than a page, and that's obviously not worth doing a whole review on.  So, I think what I'll do with this book is review some of the individual entries separately (the ones that are longer or more significant) and then wrap this up with a final review of the whole volume once I finish it.  We'll see, though.  I reserve the right to change my mind as I work through this book.

Some of the entries in this book will be rereads for me, namely: Enuma Elish, Epic of Anzu, Atra-Hasis, and The Poem of the Righteous Sufferer.  Although my current policy is to review rereads, in this case, because there's so much stuff in this volume, I won't be giving separate reviews to those works that I've just recently read.
