Wow! What an open-ended question. Where does one begin?
I would start by suggesting that you start with the classics of Western Literature.
First, the Bible, because it is the basis for much of our culture.
Second, the works of William Shakespeare are so well-known, and so well-loved that the ideas and symbolism employed in within his plays and sonnets are very deftly written, that it behooves any serious reader to be familiar with his plays.
Third, follow your heart. I, for example, loved mythology and so I read everything I could on the subject. I eventually ran across 'Bullfinch's Mythology', and a book called 'The Golden Bough.' These are two of the best books on mythology I have ever read, but I came across them by reading and doing a little research (going to the library, for example).
Other classics I'd reccommend for anyone include:
'Tom Sawyer' and 'Huckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain;
'Leaves Of Grass' by Walt Whitman;
'The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire' by Gibbons;
'Confessions' by St. Augustine;
'Collected Works' of Edgar Allen Poe;
'Complete Works' of William Shakespeare.
After trying a few of these titles, go after what you want to read.
