       Finished Aesop's Fables, which I'd never read cover to cover before. Fun to see how many present-day expressions have their origin in one of the tales from this book. Some "morals" of the tales are painfully dated, like "The safety of slavery is preferable to the danger of freedom." Still, foundational literature that's still fun to read. My favorite fable is a meta-fable, this one: http://www.mythfolklore.net/aesopica/oxford/1.htm#BookReview #Aesop #ClassicalLiterature

       dated?  that's more current than ever, if you go by how many people seem to live by it :-(
