I recommend 2 Great Books (1) How Christianity changed the world by Prof Alvin Schmidt
(2) How the Catholic Church built Western Civilization by Professor Thomas Woods...

Why would I waste time or money on those?  I'll stick with Homer and Plato and Sophocles (and Horace, Murakami, Pratchett, Gaiman, and, oh, several thousand other books I'd rather read instead).

You had me at Pratchett.
