I just finished reading the entire Harry Potter series of novels for the first time, as my third son was reading it for the second time. My daughter will finish the series soon.
I also read selected parts of The Good Book: A Humanist Bible
before I had to return it to the library yesterday. I especially like the section "Proverbs," which I read in full. I was able to find the section that quotes Confucius and Mencius extensively just before I returned the book. It's an interesting concept, but some parts of The Good Book: A Humanist Bible are extremely dull reading.

I am likely to read Quotology

next, to learn more about how quotations are traced after being misattributed, a subject I own another book about.
I agree with the OP that A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is well worth reading.
