I support Poe. If you like Horror it is good. Also it's short stories (his only novel was never finished), that might be a bit easier to get into if you're an unexperienced reader. And Poe is good, so you probably shouldn't be bored to death (and short stories also have the advantage, that your suffering is short if you dislike the story).
I also recommend the Robot-stories and the original Foundation-trilogy by Asimov. The Robot-stories are again short stories. The foundation-trilogy is longer overall, but it goes from short pieces to longer ones, and each have a complete story. So you get slowly into reading longer texts, and if the first stories aren't to your liking, you can stop it.
The last recommendation are the The Cyberiad and The Star Diaries by Stanislaw Lem. Science Fiction and again short stories.
