1. Is it worth spending time on classical, fiction literature for self-education?

2. For example, the classic American literature of Edgar Allan Poe?
How useful is such literature from the point of view of the gods?

3. What do the gods think about classical literature in general?
Is it worth spending time on this and does classical literature make you more educated?

4. I like to listen to rock and metal music.
When I started to get interested in the biographies of musicians, some of them admitted (for example, Marilyn Manson) that they recorded some songs under heavy drugs.

Do such songs contain negative energy that can harm the listener, or not?
Can such music weaken a person? (I mean specific songs that were recorded under heavy drugs).
 
If you want to gain knowledge in the field of literature then you can grow in it. You have the option of asking Cimeries or Crocell to help you learn this field.

About Marilyn Manson:

Marilyn Manson is a jew. It is all very simple, they do strange things for strange reasons.

Music and literature is art. Enjoy it. Sometimes it can open your mind up to new perspectives. Useful is the wrong word to use when referring to these because they are right brained, they are not specifically "for" "teaching" or doing any particular thing, though authors can use their novels as vehicles to express themselves or convey their worldview or to explore scenes of life. Approach it as an aesthetic and philosophical experience, and for entertainment, and to witness the creativity and wisdom of others.

Music has an effect on you but it's in the content of the lyrics and the feelings that the song embodies. Alot of musicians were drug users, this has nothing to do with you unless you're listening to music that glorifies drug use.
 
Read Charles Dickens. In the original formatting, not the dumbed-down for modern Americans. My brain gets a nice flex from reading original Dickens :)
