Just finished the Dhammapada. What are other major works of Buddhism?
my diary desu
Another collection of verses is the Sutta-Nipata. Here is a good series of talks on them by Bhikkhu Bodhi:

Both Sutta-Nipata and Dhammapada are from the collection "Khuddaka Nikāya"
https://suttacentral.net/kn
This Nikaya contains mostly verses, some very old.
The suttas in the rest of the canon have a different feel, there are the long discourses
https://suttacentral.net/dn
the middle length discourses
https://suttacentral.net/mn
the connected discourses
https://suttacentral.net/sn
the numerical discourses

For an important sutta with a very different feel to the short verses of the Dhammapada and the Sutta Nipata, try the Mahaparinibbana sutta, number 16 of the Long Discourses:

Here is a good introductory essay on the Mahaparinibbana Sutta:

I'm currently reading the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
It's very good.
