Does anyone here have an infographic or other suggestions for developing a foundation in ethics?

I've studied philosophy before, but I'm looking for a decent reading list to ease into moral philosophy.

i.e. what should i read to understand consequentialism, virtue ethics, realism, deontology, Kant, etc.

What is the best upbringing for future literary greatness?

A quiet, almost friendless childhood where you don't socialise at all and merely read indoors for almost all of your free time while doing well at school? And you're quiet. When you get to university you continue being studious but don't ever have the famed university social life. But you have read all the books that people tell you to read. You have a regular routine and study for many hours. You earn the respect of your lecturers. You start seriously writing a book in your free time. You feel extremely detached from current society. You are incapable of putting on the normie mask necessary to pass job interviews and find yourself even more disillusioned with life, even after pulling through multiple existential crises...

Or a childhood with lots of socialising, partying, drinking in parks, by an extremely outgoing person. You do badly at school and don't fulfil your potential, though you still go to a fairly respectable university, where your wild social life goes in to overdrive, you've fucked 100 tinder thots, gone on many wild holidays with friends, and done many last minute essays or paid shady looking old grad students to do them for you. Your male lecturers find you tiresome and the female ones seem to stare at you for a suspiciously long time and give you strangely high grades. You are president of 3 clubs and have already networked your way to a guaranteed management consulting grad job which pays twice the graduate average. You got the job after laughing about how you and the recruiter both watch Love Island with your girlfriends. You are always happy and have a thriving social media presence. Life is great! In your final university year, after puking in a corner of the library you open up a book by Plato for the first time after remembering you did a course on him. You find it interesting...

>finished long, famous, respected book a few minutes ago
>think it was good but despite its length it didn't really add up to anything sublime (more of a problem for long fiction books)
>realise I may be at least 5 books away from any real knowledge of the topic / author
>realise that even an average humanities student at university who reads AND writes and discusses the topic critically probably has ten times more insight than anyone who reads 2000 pages on a topic
>realise that the time period I read the book over was a bit too long because I stopped and read other stuff (but also worried that any attempt at autistic focus would induce boredom and worsen understanding)

What are some books that REALLY need to be read? I am so jaded.

My current possible remedies:

>get that one fiction book I want to write out of my system, no matter how badly written it would be
>get those short non fiction essays (more like notes) written and out of my system, no matter how dumb they are
>stop reading for a while
