Basic Recommendations
Edith Hamilton's Mythology. This is a kind of no-brainer basic on mythology that's good to read as a start. Hmmm! Reading that last sentence again I think one could take it that the book was kind of mindless. That's not it at all! The choice to read this book--assuming you're interested in mythology--is a no-brainer. Read it! You will find below links to purchase the mass market edition, paperback and hardcover. Covers Greek, Roman and Norse mythology.

Books by Samuel Noah Kramer
I have always found Kramer readable, concise and accurate. I heartily recommend his works on ancient near eastern mythology.
