I don't see a need to "push" a genre, if this is a general book discussing community.

Go with "whatever you enjoy reading about" and that should do it.

I personally enjoy science fiction and fantasy fiction. Currently reading forgotten realms fantasy.

Agreed. I think it should be broken down by pacing, if anything. I think books that meander could be considered for folks with more experience, where books that seem to go, go, go could help newer readers get into reading.

I wouldn't recommend the Wheel of Time to someone starting out. But Run by Blake Crouch, or Dungeon Crawler Carl can be great ways to get someone into reading/listening.
