Hey /lit/

Im an aspiring diplomat. What books should I read about foreign affairs and non related literature that will make me look educated and fancy pants-y in front of my peers?

History of the Peloponnesian War
Leviathan
Sunzi
Analects
Laozi
The Strategy of Conflict
What Is History?
The State and Revolution
Causes of War
Perception and Misperception in International Politics
The Tragedy of Great Power Politics

you will also need to know your national history and literature very well. know some neruda to be able to allude to it. foreigners will like that
