A tip to find books you enjoy: Start with short-story collections for your favorite genre. If you find a story that is enjoyable to read, lookup the author for more books.

This has given me a lot more success than following the "top X books to read in (genre)" lists.

Levar Burton Reads helped me find several sci fi books that I've enjoyed. I usually stay away from the genre because it is so hit or miss, but after hearing him read some of the short stories, I looked into the authors and also enjoyed their full novels. Most notably, Octavia E. Butler
