It's also worth while spending some time on the pre-Socratics if you haven't yet.

Aristotle and then the neoplatonics. Also, read classical antiquity history. You will learn as much or more from reading history than from reading philosophy. They are complimentary, and the two are the most beautiful fields.

You don't have to agree with an author in order to be entertained by that author.

Start with the pre-Socratics.
The Milesians, Pythagoras, Parmenides + Heraclitus, Empedocles and Anaxagoras

Democracy is better than any idea you've ever had.

On the contrary, I am an unimaginative simpleton, who can't imagine things in my country being different from my experiences as a child, and democracy is the only idea I've had. What does that say about your precious "democracy" then, hm?
