What are the Simpsons of literature?

Is it true that reading and thinking make you miserable? I'm still young (still technically a teenager), but I need to decide on my life quickly. If it's true that pursuing knowledge and reading literature both make you miserable, then I'd rather be blissfully ignorant. If it's true that I can't enjoy reading and happiness, I'll crank my aliteracy to 11 and dedicate all of my time to working out and doing "normie" (I hate using that word) things. I'm already behind my peers (never had a girlfriend, have yet to be invited to a party) so I need to act quickly. Please, this isn't bait or r9k bile, I swear. It's really stressing me out. I just want to be normal and have friends and not be alone and whatever. Tell me your experience. Please.

Do any of you read literature because you aren't compelled or interested by anything else? I'm apathetic to all political movements and ideologies. It seems like these things serve to give people an opportunity to argue and prove their intellectual and moral superiority rather than initiate change in the world. The study of metaphysics and ethics seems futile and therefore distant from my interests. Literature may not boast of working toward progress like the former two subjects, but it is human and I feel less alone when I read about the struggles of people who feel the same things I feel. I'm not being an edgelord or contrarian, I swear.

Not at all a response. Lead me through your logic. Why do those things not lead someone to the right?

Force yourself to watch every episode of my little pony, then count toothpicks and spend a couple minutes each day hitting yourself in the head. Then memorize all of infinite jest and the dictionary. Dress in child oriented clothing mixed with edgy metal kid accessories. Get a bowl cut and some thick glasses and learn to talk with a lisp.

It wouldn't hurt to gain some weight too.

Books where women ruin everything?

I'll start with:
Of mice and man
