Sometimes the best way to find new material is to get recommendations. If your friends or family do not have suggestions, then you can rely on your local library.
One of the things we rely on is the best-seller list. If many people enjoy a book, you should probably have the opportunity to read it. We also use awards lists to choose some of the titles we purchase. You might find something on these lists to interest you.
