Whose oeuvre should I read to construct my entire personality out of for the next three (3) years?

Out of those three Nick would be the coolest on. Also do MDMA.

I would recommend going with Shankara, he is a true joy to read. Start with either his Gita commentary or his commentaries on 8 Upanishads translated by Gambhirananda. If you are going to read through his whole oeuvre it's best to prepare first by reading a book on Hindu philosophy so you understand all the terminology used and the context of his writings

"Shahkaracharya is undoubtedly one of the greatest philosophers of the world and a realised saint. He is gifted with extra-ordinary intelligence, a deeply penetrating mind, critical insight, logical reasoning, philosophical analysis, religious purity, sublimity of renunciation and profound spirituality. His literary excellence makes him shine as a writer of exemplary Sanskrit prose and soul inspiring philosophico-religious verses." - Sharma

"His philosophy, stands forth complete, needing neither a before nor an after... whether we agree or differ, the penetrating light of his mind never leaves us where we were.” -. Radhakrishnan

"In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything." - Vivekananda

Rand.
You'll be a pretentious dick and cut ties with all your friends after they question the supreme Goddess Rand. But you'll probably get in good shape and be better off financially. It'll make the transition period at the end of the 3 years easier.
