Try some Prussian, Austro-Hungarian, Savoyard, Ottoman, Burgundian, Venetian or Neapolitan writers, or go back farther and read some Lycian, Cilician, Seleucid or Ptolemaic writers. Read an author from Axum or Punt or Cyrenaica, or from Akkad or Assyria.
I do not believe that I have read any Austro-Hungarian writers before, and am reading Schnitzler now and will read Kafka (I've never read any Kafka) after that. Austria-Hungary qualifies.

That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think

After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't
