What exactly are you looking for,Kem-au? Most of Egyptian literature is Instruction texts with some historial and pusedo-fiction stories. You have some poetry like the Herdman's Song or the Song of the Blind Harper from Intef's tomb.

One of the best and most interesting "read" is a translation of the Egyptian papyrus, a lamentation called "A mMan Tired of Life". A new translation has be recently published, called "Rebel In The Soul", tranlated by Bika Reed.
Not everyone who reads it will agree with the conclusions presented by Reed, but it is fascinating to see such an unusual comprehension published.
The original papyrus has never been definately dated, but many scholars feel that it is from the First Intermediate Period, between the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
