About that only thing i miss from University is the books. It's like having your own personal library.
If you're interested in that period, I would recommend Peter Brown's book, The World of Late Antiquity. If you don't have access to a library, you can get it in paper back at Amazon.com for pretty cheap. It is aimed at the general reader rather than academic specialists and gives a good overview of the period. It also shows how the different successors of the Roman empire (Islamic, Byzantine and Latin Christian) gradually diverged and became their own distinct civilizations.
