Start with Trevor Bryce's Very Short Introduction on Babylonia, then move to the translated texts available in the Oxford paperback. You might want to read about philological considerations on ancient texts (https://seal.huji.ac.il/)), and a broader history of the near east (Liverani, 2014, Routledge). A short approach of sanskrit is a plus. I have never read one bit of akkadian literature and am pulling these recommendations out of my ass.

ASSyrian

Maybe you should give up on reading if you can't pick up on obvious shit, your time would be much better spent following instructions from a construction manager.

Foster's Before the Muses and his translation of Gilgamesh should hold you over for a while
