@Ethels,
Reading like appreciation of music is a very subjective thing. It's hard to recommend anything without knowing anything about ones personal taste and sensibilities.
For instance are you reading for...
1. Entertainment and personal distraction?
2. Looking for enlightenment or just interested in fluff?
3. Are you romantic or scientific minded?
4. More interested in epic grand tales or personal and thought provoking?
5. Etc....
