The biggest problem you have is that "graphic novel" isn't a genre, but a type of media. Imagine that someone came up to you and said "I want to start watching movies. Where should I start?" Your first question would probably be, "That depends, what kind of stories do you like?"
So, I would start by figuring this out. Go to your local library and grab:

Some recommendations for books of recommendations are:
Once you have read a few graphic novels, you will start to see the same names coming up, and know what you enjoy and what you hate, and you'll have a better idea of what to start looking at next.
Have fun!

Random title suggestions aren't necessarily helpful for you, like many have said, go to your local comic store, browse around, flip through titles that look interesting, take note of them, do some googling, etc.
Some libraries even lend out graphic novels, see if yours does. Low barrier of entry there :)
Also buying collections/graphic novels can be quite a bit cheaper than buying single issues.
