Sounds like you need a "Bashful Banshee's Book Club" sticker system.
Short of setting up one yourself, probably your best bet is to find someone whose reading selections/tastes are pretty much like your own, but for whatever reason (bigger book-buying budget, more leisure time, sheer perversity), they read and comment at greater length on more/different books than you do. Then stalk their posts liek whoa.
If you haven't already noticed, we've got a Reading Recs forum and generally people who start threads asking for particular personal recommendations on any subject matter get a fairly good response
