I am looking for a book that equips the reader with the subject matter knowledge, even if it's just service level, that makes them seem well read or cultured at first. I know it's a lot to ask from one book but It would be great if I could find something at least a bit like what I'm looking for. Coming across even a little bit like a Classics professor or Oxford graduate is the goal.

Not a book but a SAT tip for instantly improving vocabulary was reading the Wall Street Journal.
Read some english lit. Kurt Vonnegut, Aldous Huxley, Dostoevsky, David Foster Wallace, Joseph Heller, Toni Morrison. Just keep reading, wach book will grow you.
