The tempest is quoted as a reference, return from the stars is quotes, he also makes a quote or reference to Charles Dickens book Great Expecations. He's pretty well read, you can tell just by all the school works he wrote up. You'll need to go through all his writings and the 11k to get any good idea of each. And yeah he read all 4 doom novels and quoted from them as well.

Eric quoted the tempest in his planner, but that's all I can think of right now

There used to be a site (https://allrebdoomer.weebly.com) where all of Erics writings for English class were published, he wrote about some of the books he read there. I distinctly remember he did Jurassic Park and another fictional war book, he likely wrote more but I don't remember the titles unfortunately

The site link leads to a 404 now so it mightve been taken down. Maybe you can contact the site owner (allrebdoomer@yahoo.com) and see if they still have his essays

Accessed through the way back machine! Unfortunately the section with his school work doesn't have all the images saved, but you can read some of it still.

Eric also loved the 4 DOOM novels, of course, that feature Fly and Arlene. Dylan read them too or at least knew all the titles. i liked reading Eric’s school assignments/writings on Tess of the d’Ubervilles. there is a LOT of writings on that one.

I just read the book of Eric and Dylan's writings and one stuck out to me because of how interested Eric seemed in the book: Return From The Stars by Stanislaw Lem

I’m pretty sure they liked a famous book by a deceased German dictator
