What topics interest you? Do you like fantasy, romance, sci-fi, thrillers, non-fiction?

I'd start from that and try and find recommendations from your favourite genres.

For general authors if you want something to hook you, I don't think you can go wrong with Stephen King, Blake Crouch and Dennis Lehane. They tend to be fast-paced and maybe a good introduction if you want to get into reading. Oh and anything written by Terry Pratchett!
