What books do I read in order to understand what makes a great book great? Alternatively, what critics do I read?

In all seriousness the only way is to read the classics + a good chunk of western philosophy. Anything less and you are faking it

this.
Maybe its off topic, but Im rereading some of Platos dialogues and was really entranced with the segments of the Protagoras and Phaedrus when Plato decides to write about Greek cosmology and mythology at length. It might not be great writing, but it still has an amazing sacrosanct stink that imo makes reading the classics so engaging. I got the same from the Inferno and some of Milton.

What, so read the greeks and suddenly I understand art? That's the gayest thing I've ever heard
