I'm committed to reading everything that is of any pers

Start by learning french, then read their big names (not neccessarily their whole ouvre, one work per author should suffice), then you move to italian, it'll be easier once you have mastered french, read Petrarca, Dante, Ludovico Ariosto, etc. Italian will make learning spanish piss easy, though the number of works you gain access to is limited compared with the previous. There is no reason to read german philosophy if you're into the greeks

Going through a whole list is a very tedious enterprise, especially if you're already a beginner reader. If you're just reading things because "they have to be read" you're going to be miserable and probably give up. You can still read good literature while reading something you enjoy and that you're genuinely interested in reading.

Fine but they skip all the core eastern poetry and the four great novels of China. Considering that China had a culture in which you couldn't hold public office without learning how to read it write poetry, this is a glaring omission towards your goal.
