Do you read of what you have collected?
Often I hear people say of what you said
, of what you did
...etc. So should I add of
to the sentence above?

I might ask,
Do you read your collection?
or even better was your 2nd example:
Do you read the books you have collected?
Your examples of of what you said
and of what you did
wouldn't apply here, and I can't think of many cases where they would. Perhaps,
Sometimes I think of what you said.
I understood all of what you said.
Tell me the story of what you did.
Are you ashamed of what you did?
Do you read the stuff (books, comics, etc.) you have collected?
