/lit/ - Literature

If I seek ultimate knowledge and peace of soul should i read dharmic texts(sutras,puranas,etc)or ancient greek-roman philosophers?
Has anyone read the whole western canon?
can I learn a language by reading a dictionary of that language,with perfect memory(plus quick grammar rules)?

So, I'm learning how to live life by the 15-minute mark;im taking up davinci sleep schedule and butekyo method to need only one minute to fall asleep.
Anyways;I want to write a kindle ebook for amazon consisting of 50 2 Word pages-long short stories or micro-tales.
What books or authors can i read like this?
Many stories and concepts are shamelessly borrowed from the /x/ iceberg charts and reddit's writing prompts
