While having breakfast this morning, I overheard the woman at the table next to ours repeatedly asking both her date and the waitress (while chatting) why its an Easter bunny and not an Easter chicken. She seemed to have no idea where those elements of the Easter symbolism come from or what they represent. How do people who celebrate these religious holidays not know these things?
I wanted to lean over to their table and say "It's the sex, stupid." but I didn't think that would go over well.

I'm looking for new sources of various things, so I'm going to start posting "Top Fives", asking for peoples' favourites.
To start with, I'm looking for mythology books. I want actual readable stories, rather than narrative novelizations or reference/analyses of the myths.
What are your top five (or top one, if that's all you can come up with) books for mythological stories? Bonus points for anything that doesn't focus exclusively on Greco-Roman myths.
