If Dante supposedly read so little books, how did he managed to write such a tale like The Divine Comedy?

What do you mean? The Comedy clearly indicates that Dante actually read quite a lot. At minimum he'd read everything "essential" from the Ancient World that he had, along with everything important from the Medieval World up to his own time.

He didn't read Homer and he didn't read Plato, but that's because they were literally lost to Western Europe when he was alive. And even then, he at least knew OF them.

What do you mean by OF?
What would be this hypothetical list of book that Dante read?
Also, I've heard Emilly Dickinson also read relatively little. Is it true?

From the moment it started i couldn't wait for it to end, Cheese, dull and stupid
If the objective of the book was to make you feel like the tortured souls of heroes and writers that thought that by doing good things they would be rewarded in the end, then it fulfilled said objective wonderfully.
