Where to start reading novels? Any novel recommendations?

The last novel I read was Harry Potter, and that's Iong ago. I went to the library today, but I felt really lost between the thousands of novels because I didn't know what type of novels I like, what genre, where to start. The author names don't tell me anything except Stephen King. Should I go from what type of movie genres I like? Should I start with bestsellers? Also feel free to give novel recommendations with a short summary of what the novel is about.

    What do you like reading? Some general recommendations: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (series) Comedic romp through space. You’ve heard references to 42- find out what those are all about. World War Z A journalistic look at zombie apocalypse. Told through multiple perspectives, a very compelling story the movie completely thrashed. The Expanse (series) Ever thought, I’d kind of like Game of thrones in space but without George RR Martin’s creepy obsession with incest? Here you go. Tolkien- start on the Hobbit if you find it dense. Lord of the Rings? Like I need to introduce LotR... What If An educational book (kind of), What If answered absurd hypothetical questions with real life science. Anything by Terry Pratchett -Disc World (setting, series) All of these are hilarious and intelligent Anything by Neil Gaiman to name a few -Stardust -Neverwhere -Norse Mythology A mix of touching, hilarious, and kind of emotionally sad. Everything he writes is enjoyable. Fun fact: Neil prefers the ending of the movie Stardust to his book.
