Go to the library, have a browse. If a cover (or blurb or whatever) interests you, sit down and read the first chapter or 20 pages or something like that. If, after that, you want to keep going then you've found a book you'll probably like :)

Take your time, there's no rush.

Or, alternatively, find some short story collections in a genre of tv/games/movies you like.
