Has a single philosopher ever given a good reason to not commit suicide?

It's been a year or so of me finally getting into the classics, and I need some help. Here's my scorechart of what I've read:

books I really liked:
>The Odyssey
>Crime and Punishment
>book of Tolstoy Short Stories
>Catcher in the Rye

books I liked enough to finish but weren't that great IMO
>Great Gatsby
>The Old Man and the See
>Crying of Lot 49
>1984
>The Trial
>The Stranger

books I didn't like and couldn't finish
>Moby-Dick (to hard to read)
>The Sound and the Fury (also to hard to read)
>any Shakespeare (thee thou thee thee thine thou thee......)
>Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (boring)
>American Psycho (lol edgy gore and 80s)
>Plato (there's a part where he said Socrates explained something so well even retards can understand, but I didn't understand)

I'm thinking of giving up reading because I'm afraid nothing I read will match up to the books in the first category there. My IQ is basically stuck in the double digits, so I will never read complicated shit like all of you on here read. And I'm to intelligent to go back to pleb fantasy shit I used to like but can't go back to anymore. Are there really only 4 good books or authors in existence? Reading has helped pull me out of being an unironic coomer, but if I run out of books I'll have to go back to cooming multiple times a day. What do I read?

We will never run out of -oomers. The options are literally endless.
