Let's start by eliminating books you've already read. Give us a general list of what we don't need to recommend anymore.

I started trying to get into reading too. I'm currently reading Game of Thrones and it's breddy gud. I was expecting it to be a dense and slow-type fantasy novel, but it's actually pretty straightfoward and ez to read. You should try it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditations
Be like a rocky promontory against which the restless surf continually pounds; it stands fast while the churning sea is lulled to sleep at its feet. I hear you say, "How unlucky that this should happen to me!" Not at all! Say instead, "How lucky that I am not broken by what has happened and am not afraid of what is about to happen. The same blow might have struck anyone, but not many would have absorbed it without capitulation or complaint." (IV. 49, trans. Hicks)
If thou art pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs thee, but thy own judgment about it. And it is in thy power to wipe out this judgment now. (VIII. 47, trans. George Long)
yeah i should read that

i'm reading The Bridal of Triermain by Sir Walter Scott, I suggest using the website LibriVox.org if you haven't already. It has recordings of people reading so all you have to do is listen :)

I'm reading love in the time of cholera currently, it's real gud. Marquez in general is good.

Can particularly vouch for A Confederacy of Dunces. The protagonist is the average 4channer.
