"Every bit of happiness in the world has to be created by diligent work and labour." - Xi Jinping
Read Philosophy first (alongside any history you are concerned about). Then once you understand those texts you can read whatever else in the list. You will get far more value out of the other texts once you understand philosophy better.
You need to ask why someone says something. Often there are allegories.
