How many of these have you read and which were your favorites? Which sucked, and why?

Because one should start and stop at the Greeks. Just joking, I’m putting off the leviathan until I learn Latin.
All of them were quite good.

Why bother when Hobbes himself also wrote the english edition?

Because there are many books originally written in Latin which fall prior in the Western canon to the Leviathan.

Democracy in America is frankly impressive. The dude was right about almost everything, he predicted the cold war, the race problem in America, the question of equality and just so much other things... It's really amazing how one pessimistic aristocrat could predict so much by just traveling a little bit in America. Definitely a must read!

Only read parts of Augustine and Aquinas. Gold stars go to those i think were truly revolutionary.
This thread isn't long for this world anyway.

He was a catholic legitimist. But he isn't meme-worthy if that's what your asking, his analysis is very cold and objective. He saw democracy as inevitable and as such he tried to understand the implications and specificity of the American democratic model and its possible consequences. Turns out he was right on a lot of points. It's also a foundational text of sociology.

I think they mean more, why put off Leviathan rather than why bother learning latin. Learning latin is a great act of self improvement, but Leviathan was translated into English by it's original author, so why choose the Latin over the English since they can both claim to be 'original'.
