The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius

It’s still worth reading, but it’s incredibly repetitive save for the final book (which might also feature its laziest supposed arguments). Studying it historically or as a mastery of the classical forms—it is chocked with references—shows an incredibly impressive work, and many of the ideas here (themselves usually recycled but united in a novel secular-religious union) remain relevant bases for theologically informed philosophical investigation.
