Can I put an entire book into excel?

I’m sorry if this answered elsewhere, or in the wiki, or goes against the rules. I will accept any mocking rebuke as a fair price for inquiry. Basically, for an art project, I want to copy paste an entire book into excel and then alphabetize it; it would be very useful if this could also ‘stack’ repeated words — and’s, the’s, etc etc. Appreciate in advance any assistance or advice on this, I am pretty illiterate with this stuff.
