Re: Good books
If you like detective stories with some romance, I recommend JD Robb's In Death books. The main character suffered and is still dealing with the fallout of CSA if that's something that bothers you.
Do you like thrillers, FBI agents, and monsters (both actual monsters and the typical 'humans are the real monsters' BS)? Then give Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child's Pendergast series a read. Much of the series is stand-alone, but some of them tie together into longer story arcs. I recommend starting with Relic and Reliquary, they're the first proper story arc.
Magic, fantasy violence, and a casual decline in quality about 20 books in more your thing? The Legend of Drizzt is all those things. YMMV on the last thing though, I personally think the series would have been better if it'd ended at the end of The Ghost King.
Do you prefer horror and consistent quality with your magic and fantasy violence? Try reading The Haunted Lands. They're set in the same world as The Legend of Drizzt, all about zombies, necromancers, war, nonsense like that. Actually, most books I've read set in the Forgotten Realms D&D setting are really good.
Paranormal romance more your deal? As much as I hate to suggest it, the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series really did begin very well, though it turns into bad smut in the 10th book and doesn't get any better on that front. The last couple books have been better about having more plot to balance the smut, but I don't think it'll get better anytime soon.
I think everything else I have to read are kids books, expanded universe crap for Doctor Who/Star Trek/Star Wars, or I realize they're horrible and have always been horrible. Or I haven't actually read them yet because I'm terrible and reread things a hundred time.
