In all seriousness... do you need a "textbook" at this point?
Perhaps you can pick a book on a topic you like that you can read at least a few pages even with guessing skips, and then do the cycle of "read a few pages, marking words" "look up the unknowns" "copy out the 'oh, so that was a nice usage'"?
If you have some good references (and I would recommend a book 日本語文系辞典 by くろしお出版 if you don't have it), then any book should be "official text" worthy. Just pick one thing to officially plow through looking up EVERY thing you wonder about (as opposed to the regular reading).
I don't know (and goodness knows I have no relevant qualifications AT ALL so YMMV) but when I officially tutor people I try to get them to that point, even if the books they are reading are ones aimed at elementary kids or whatever.
