Requisite reading for just about anybody

Do you ever feel like you know nothing about classic literature and the allusions therein to classic myths, fairy tales, legends, and folk heroes?  Want to read such material and claim the time as educational?  Check out Bulfinch's various volumes on Chivalry (think King Arthur, et al.), Mythology, Fables, and Charlemagne.  Great reading in and of themselves, but also a great introduction to the stories that have captivated the hearts and imaginations of countless generations and inspired many of our greatest poets and authors.  Discover what you never learned in school but will wish you had.  It is not too late to begin a 'classical education.'
