It depends on what types of fictional books you are interested in. Many fictional books include Romance, Westerns, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Horror, etc. Everyone has a different opinion of what are good fictional books, and you may find that most of those opinions don't sit well with you.
Horror books and fantasy books are distinct genres.
