Chivalry is dead and they are no true gentlemen anymore, but what books should a retard born in the XXth century read to fix that?
It can be fiction or self-improvement books but I guess to have at least something to strive for.
Pic related has been duly read.

Deleuze thought chivalric novels had a strange but important similarity to Samuel Beckett's writing, so maybe what you should be reading if you want to be a modern knight is something like Molloy

Chivalry was a result of feudal property relations. Trying to be "chivalrous" in 21st century capitalist civilization is roughly equivalent to becoming Amish and plowing your fields by hand. You can do it if it makes you happy but it's completely and utterly pointless.
Even by Cervantes' time chivalrous values were woefully inadequate for adapting to contemporary society, which is largely what he was pointing out with Don Quixote and what apparently went over your head.

Chivalry refers to the qualities one needs to be a horseman, you won't find those in books.
