this list isn't complete without

The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan

hard to define, one could say it's a book about the nature of knowledge, so quite befiting this list.

Absolutely useless.

There is no use in reading about a slave-based economy. Every single commodity in Plato's time was derived from slaves. Modern slavery is different, since it has wordsmithed the word "slavery" away and has instead reduced it to "working".

Reading Plato or Aristotle is useful only insofar as it gives you an understanding of the history of western philosophy. Many, if not most, of the conclusions that they came to have since been proven false or radically improved upon by later thinkers.

Aquinas is useful reading if you want a lesson in medieval apologetics, the history of Roman Catholicism, easy medieval Latin, or merely to waste your time reading about the minutiae describing a mythical sky monster named Yahweh and his son/himself.

Locke is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the philosophical scaffolding upon which Jefferson framed the Declaration of Independence and the rights theory of justice that underpins classical liberalism.
