Literature Map
This is a pretty cool and very interesting site:
http://www.literature-map.com/
There are now a great many "what to read next" sites, but this is one that maps out similar authors for you so you can select an author whose works will be similar to authors you already like.
For example, I started with Paul Auster - and the resulting author map/cloud showed me a pretty high percentage of authors I already enjoy - Nabokov, Murakami, Joyce, Kundera, Eco, Atwood, Chabon, DeLillo, McEwan, Marquez, Hesse, Saramago, Borges... not bad for a click.
I recommend checking it out if you want to find some new authors. It certainly won't hurt.
