It is difficult to enumerate all the books that have discussed the of the Prophet, peace be upon him. However, one can refer to concise books such as "Riyadh As-Salihin" and "Al-Adhkar" by Imam An-Nawawi. Books on creed (aqidah) and jurisprudence (fiqh) are also important for understanding his Sunnah, peace be upon him. Memorizing the prophetic supplications (du'as) is part of following his Sunnah, as the transmitted supplications are superior and more complete than others. Regarding memorizing the Sunnah, you can find the answer in No. 136169.
