Since you've got some historical fiction in here I wonder how you feel about "Julian" by Gore Vidal? For me it was really a game changing book in my early 20s and I still return to it every few years.

Thank You for these book recommendations, personally I would like to encourage you to every now and then to offer up (at your leisure) books that struck you as excellent and of value, since, I for one am hindered by my love of certain metaphysics and easily mislead myself until I read and understand adequate ideas that empower me. The cure as I understand it is to read widely and carefully contrary opinions that I am unaware of that debunk my false views and allow for clear comprehension to take place inside my head.

"a single naturalistic worldview"; doesn't that beg the question in favour of intrinsic methodological naturalism as against my own preference, pragmatic methodological naturalism?

Or do I need to read the book in order to get answers to this question?
