All of the works by these authors/poets at the very least:
Hemingway
TS Eliot
Joyce Carry
D H Lawrence
Lawrence Darrell
Alexander Pope
Shakespeare
B Traven
Wilhelm Reich

There a host of others - look up a list of classics and read them all.

Also;
The Encyclopedia Britannica
Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary
Roget’s Thesaurus.
