So... what exactly are you looking for?
Websites/books to teach you? For us to just tell you what you want to learn? Questions like this are hard to answer because they're so broad, and you'll have to keep that in mind as you get answers or whatever.
First off, look through /r/mythology. They discuss all kinds of mythology over there, and seems like a pretty good resource.
Greek and Roman Mythology
These are intertwined. They are not the same, or competing. They are much more complementary than you might think.
I can tell you that Bulfinch's Mythology and Hamilton's Mythology are pretty much the standard as far as Ancient Greek Mythology goes.
Going through old IWTL posts, I found Beren's Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome. It's free!
Egyptian
I admit, I know pretty much nothing about this other than Ra, Set, Anubis and the Sphinx.
But, http://www.egyptianmyths.net/ seems like a pretty good resource.
Celtic Mythology
First check out this introduction. Then, check out the Celtic Myth Podshow if you like podcasts!
Mesopotamian
The Epic of Gilgamesh.
I'd like to continue this, as it's been a lot of fun, but I gotta go do a thing. I'll come back to this later, maybe
D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths sounds like what you want. If that's too easy for you, I remember liking Bulfinch's Mythology as a kid, though I think it contains more analysis.
