Where are you from? If you want I can send you a copy of my book "Cavemen with Smartphones: how evolution shaped history and finance" for free - I understand the struggle as I grew up in Mexico and getting new English books was very difficult. Either way, if you're interested, CWS is kind of like Sapiens but more focused on psychology and economics as well as with a sense of humour. So if you're interested in Yuval's books you're bound to like it as well ;)
Also Notes from the Underground is depressing but a great read nonetheless!
Man that is a tall order! I'd first pick out an era (ancient, medieval, or modern) and go from there.
Going in chronological order, Penguin has a pretty great book of Pre-Socratic philosophy:
https://www.amazon.com/Early-Greek-Philosophy-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140448152
The only problem is that the works are fairly fragmentary, sometimes even sentences are cut in half. AFAIK we don't have a coherent book of Western philosophy until Plato.
The gang is doing The Republic right now, which is about as political a work as you can get. It's worth digging into unconventional interpretations of the book, I really enjoyed this as a guide to thinking about Plato and others without giving you a specific reading:
https://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Between-Lines-History-Esoteric/dp/022647917X
I haven't read Aristotle but his Politics and Nichomachean Ethics show up on a lot of reading lists.
It's sort of a post-Socratic pre-Socratic book, but I really enjoyed Lucretius' De Natura Rerum. Basically he puts his own spin on the philosophy of Epicurus and renders it in Latin poetry. Roman philosophers are more about sharing life wisdom than doing rigorous logic, but you might check out Cicero and Seneca on the earlier side and Boethius and Marcus Aurelius on the later side.
Medieval philosophy basically equates to religious philosophy. You mentioned Augustine and Aquinas, also check out Maimonides ("the Jewish Aquinas"). I haven't studied these guys too closely.
Modern political philosophy starts with Machiavelli and runs through Locke, Hobbes, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Burke, Mill, and Marx. On the epistemology side there's Descartes, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer. Not to spoil anything for you, but a popular interpretation is that Marx and Nietzsche basically killed the entire Enlightenment project. In any event it definitely helps to have a grounding in both ancient and modern philosophy before tackling Nietzsche so that you know what he's talking about and responding to.
Oh yeah and Hobbes wrote a sequel to Leviathan called Behemoth where he analyzed the English Civil War using his political principles. Wasn't as popular as the original though!
I love the cover to We - Yevgeny Zamyatin

There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind is also a good read about one of the most prominent atheists, Anthony Flew, and what turned him into a deist. Gerald Shroeder's argument was instrumental in this and can be found as number 5 on this page as well as Roy Varghese's book The Wonder of the World: A Journey from Modern Science to the Mind of God.
Got the complete mouse from amazon
If you google "mouse comic pdf" you can also find the first of the two books
No spoilers, but you are going to be disappointed and OP is right about it being a bit of a bore. I'd suggest reading "The Scramble for Africa" by Thomas Pakenham instead. Rip roaring adventure from start to finish, and amazingly it is non-fiction at that.
