70 Years, 70 Books: Poetry, Myth, and Legend

Our maverick English Teacher and contrarian reflects on his upcoming 70th birthday and lists 70 works of and about poetry, myth, and legend which have particular meaning for fin. The list is purely personal, and is in no way meant to be exhaustive or representative. Our compiler just likes them. At his age, he doesn't really think it matters if anyone else does.
