make a list of the topics you are interested in and then google top 5 writers in that genre and start there - you are bound to get some good ones and some clunkers. google "top 5 authors"+horror, or sci-fi, or romance, or adventure - you get the drift. you can go to www.classicbookshelf.com and pick from that list of classic books or http://www.bestsellersdirect.ca/catalog/cat448_1.htm and you can see a list of books that you can buy or get an idea of what you want to read, or as someone else said, just go to the library
I read any genre also and my top five authors are:
Diana Gabaldon
Stephen King
Janet Evanovitch
Sue Grafton
Anne Rice
- too many to list and too many to choose from
good luck and good reading

Some of these are from female perspectives, some may be a little "girly girl" for your liking but others should be okay. I've left both genre on and you can decide.

I have several books I like to read again every few years:
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Set in New Orleans, probably one of the wierdest and funniest books ever written.
No Man Knows My History: The Life of Joseph Smith by Fawn M. Brodie. Still the best biography of the controversial founder of Mormonism.
Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts and Al Chung-liang Huang. Brings life, the universe & everything into perfect view.

That's a difficult question because what you consider a 'good book' may be different for others, I would say finding a good book is part of the adventure in itself. It is a way of defining what you consider good books as well.

Just walk into a library, put a blind fold on, spin around a couple of times with your finger pointed and start reading wherever you stop.
