From a strictly aesthetic and creative standpoint what are some great books of philosophy, religion, or history?

I don't care if it is intellectually irrelevant, willfully eccentric, contains ridiculous theories, etc.

The Nichomachean Ethics. I've had this thought that it is basically the best start to philosophy because of Aristotle's experience in Western and Eastern worlds. As such, his works incorporate (or should, I havent read any books discussing this idea) both eastern and western thought, which at the time were at a sort of crux where minds like Plato and Laozi emerged and left their own imprints.

Basically, philosophy as a whole converges at Aristotle and diverges after. I've never had a chance to discuss and argue this, so it would be nice for some criticism on this.

Not sure if this is exactly in line with your question, but I figure the model example of philosophy would be aesthetic and creative.

The first part of Either-Or by Kierkegaard is pure aesthetics.

Heraclitus, Empedocles, Plato, Lucretius, Augustine, Montaigne, Pascal, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein
>>
Fear and Trembling and The Republic are good examples, I think
>>
Philosophical Fragments by Climacus (Kierk in cognito) is probably the next best thing to Either/Or.
