We sincerely apologize, dear Neil! Yes, this has been a thing for… a few years.
May I humbly add for your consideration:

Dear Caroline:
Two years and half have passed since you made these requests, and I imagine some of the topics might have lost personal relevance to you (the China stuff, for example, as you no longer dwell in Hong Kong). Nevertheless, and myself being a rather obsessive bookworm, here go some ideas. I imagine you will also be having in the future, after the gruelling court preparatory work you must be in right now, much more time to read than in the past.
-In Search of the Indo-Europeans: Language, Archaeology and Myth, by J.P. Mallory
This book might be a little bit outdated (last edition is from 1991, I think), but is a very informative read, and mixes together linguistic, archeological and mythological sources for a quite engaging exploration of our ancestors and their language.
-Cambridge history of China, volumes 14-15
This is the best work of scholarship on the topic, and the last two volumes cover everything from the Communist takeover to about 1982. I would recommend the earlier volumes more - those about the Pre-imperial age, the Han, the Six Dynasties and the Tang, but I suspect our interest in Chinese history is orthogonal, you being focused more on the recent and the present.
-Mao: The Unknown Story, by Jon Halliday and Jung Chang
An interesting biography (although it has been accused of being too negatively biased towards its protagonist) that will illuminate a lot of modern Chinese politics, which still feeds a lot on parts of his thought and practice. Also, a very salutary portrait of the evils of a powerful and amoral figure who treats people as means to his ends.
-I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban, by Malala Yousafzai
An inspiring autobiography, all the more so if you are a teacher and believe in the power of education, or if you are a woman. Really moving! 
-For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture, by Alice Feiring 
The Georgia in the Caucasus has a very old, wine-making tradition that has been included in the Unesco Intangible Heritage List. The use qvevris (clay fermentation vessels) to make it. and the book also explores the country, the people and the changes they experience.
-De raptu Proserpinae, by Claudian
I don't quite get your interest in this myth, but anyway, Claudian is a late Roman poet (370-404) and 'obstinate pagan' in the words of Orosius, who wrote an incomplete epic poem on the topic. You have some very old, and old-fashioned English translations. If you are into this sort of thing, remember also that Lucan's Pharsalia includes the woman that inspired Héloise.
-The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, by Neil Stephenson
Very good science fiction + girl-coming-of-age story. I am pretty sure it would be to your liking if you haven't read it yet.
-The Rape of Lucrece, by William Shakespeare
Long (not really) poem with strong political overtones, and with a protagonist that really fits the bill for 'really stoic and put-together'.
-Lady Sarashina's Diary. This is the memoir of a c. 1008 AD nerdy, bookish lady at the Japanese Imperial Court who prefers the worlds of fantasy to the real. There are two English translations: one by Ivan Morris (As I Crossed a Bridge of Dreams) and the other by Sonja Arntzen (The Sarashina Diary).
-Hildegard von Bingen, Sei Shōnagon and Sappho. Although not centered on just Hypatia, Catherine Nixey's The Darkening Age paints a very lively portrait of the triumph of Christianity in late Rome and the expulsion and persecution of science and philosophy you might enjoy.

The Legacy (1978)
"I want to know... I don't know how to ask this... I want to know if you're involved in black magic, the occult?"
"If you'd like to call it that, yes."
"So are you, dearie. Don't look like that! It's just another way of life. I mean, we don't ride around on broomsticks or anything. We've got the helicopters, um, Rolls-Royces... Quite nice, really."
#The legacy#horror film#british cinema#richard marquand#films i done watched#1978#Katharine Ross#sam elliott#roger daltrey#John standing#Charles gray#Lee Montague#Hildegard Neil#Marianne Broome#Margaret Tyzack#Ian Hogg#jimmy sangster#Patrick Tilley#Paul Wheeler#Michael J. Lewis#A bit of a mess of a brit horror film from the graveyard years of the genre (by this point Hammer and Amicus were more or less done)#Hammer stalwart Sangster provides a script which has the skeleton of a very good (if hardly original) idea. The flesh is weak tho. There's#A lot going on and not all of it makes much sense. It is tho quite a lot of fun in a nonsense kind of way. Americans Elliott and Ross are#The likable protagonists and they have a lot of chemistry (unsurprisingly; it was on the set of this film that they began a relationship#Which is still going strong today). A clutch of great brit character actors pull focus including Gray and Montague both playing foreigners#With outrageous accents. For sheer incredulity however the film is stolen by Roger Daltrey as the sneering winking sleazy music mogul who#Inexplicably speaks like a grandma calls everyone dear and has an incredibly drawn out and uncomfortable scene in which he chokes on a#Piece of ham (or is it... A chicken bone... Unbelievably that is actually a plot point in this film. I just. What). A big silly mess but#Well worth 90 minutes of your time if only to see John Standing throwing his entire theatrical might into a scene in which he wears a#Novelty store style monster mask complete with googly eye
