Stare at the wall, trying to move it with your mind.

Someone's going to tell you to Start With The Greeks. That's retarded. That's like throwing a toddler in the open ocean. They won't learn to swim and they'll end up hating the water anyway. Start contemporary and work your way backwards.
>but what contemporary-
Look up the winners and finalists of these prizes (I'm assuming you want to read fiction):
Man Booker Prize
National Book Critics Circle Award
Pulitzer Prize
National Book Award
PEN/Faulkner Award
Rhea Award for Achievement in the Short Story
New York Times Notable Books of the Year
etc, among others. Just go through and pick books that sound interesting. Then go to the library and get reading. That's it. That's all you have to do.
