Here's a starter kit if you're new to fiction. Reading is an excellent brain exercise; expanding intellect/taste will make you a much developed person not caring about the opinions of others.
These books should give you enough background and reference point to venture in any direction of serious fiction.
Protip: avoid w*men authors, they're absolutely worthless. In all my reading, I only found two I'd be confident to recommend and they were both autistic alcoholics, not fembrained holes.
