I really enjoyed moby dick compared to most other novels I've read, especially the way melville writes but apparently its not even that great of a novel. So how do I find out what I enjoy to read and how do I decide on what is objectively good/not good?

I have no idea what to read, I've been trying to read the KJV Bible for over a year now but keep on putting it off. I just don't know what else I enjoy. Translation of Don Quixote is entertaining enough but it doesn't make me sit back in amazement when I read sentences (being a translation and all) whereas melvilles writing is such a pleasure to read, like his thoughts are operating on another level or multiple levels there are differing perspectives interwoven in sentences that I'm able to see. I've read the confidence man and billy budd but now I don't know what to do. I don't get much enjoyment out of reading shakespeares plays or reading the KJV even though they've influenced his work. Blood Meridian was nice but I'm not all that interested in any other of Mccarthys novels.

How do I find out what I enjoy? How do I learn to enjoy reading the KJV Bible?
