You have a good list here, if you really want to read some great books try;
Meditations by Marcus Aurelleus
Candide by Voltaire
Just about anything from Dostoevsky
And my personal all time favorite:
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzche
Read that slow and read it a few times…It will change your life.
Ciao
PS where the sidewalk ends is a classic, i remember reading that as a kid, great book
As I’ve read you like history-related books I think you should give “Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire” a try!
