I have read Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramana Maharshi, Zen Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism (Mahamudra-Dzogchen) extensively and also the books of J van Rijckenborgh on Gnosticism and I never felt the need to read anything else. The important thing is 1. To have a fierce desire to reach enlightenment 2. To be honest to the utmost; am I enlightened or simply well read? To know something and to realize something are completely different things. 3. To have a taste for the superior and to reject the inferior completely. You want enlightenment so you should laser focus on what's useful, and shed all tangential knowledge of esotericism and understand that it's just more ignorance. 4. To have a mind for practice: reading is not practicing, thinking is not practice.
Moreover, you should understand that Mahasamadhi is just a description for the moment of what we commonly call "death", Enlightenment can be had in life and afterwards you achieve Mahasamadhi or Parinirvana. Understand also that the sense of "achieving" is misleading, no one achieves anything and that the Supreme substance is already present in you, you only need to clear your mind to receive its reflection.
