How To Educate Yourself In The Fine Arts?

I graduated college a few years ago and do not have the time to go back and study the fine arts I wish I had back then. Now when I am at dinner parties and social events, I don’t feel that I can hold my own in conversations about great literature and fine art.
My question is: what would you recommend to educate yourself on the fine arts? Perhaps you can recommend a reading list of great literature as well as texts on the great works of art? This is very important to me and I will be very grateful for any input!
