pretty sure there are a few 2000 year old texts that people are still reading today

Pretty sure the oldest stuff I've read was around 4,500 years old (in translation, but still). Volume I of Lichtheim's Ancient Egyptian Literature.

There are a couple incomplete tales in that 3-volume work and I really wish they'd had a more stable storage medium, because now I'm stuck with accidental millennia-old cliffhangers.

The Bible doesn't count

Some Chinese and Greek tales are still universal to understand. Ditto with some Sumerian legends.
