I would also check out the book Book Lust and the sequel More Book Lust (both by Nancy Pearl). They each contain around 1,000 reading recommendations based on themed lists and I have found the lists to be fascinating. She gives a little blurb/discussion about each book that helps give you a clue whether it would interest you or not.

For example, here are a couple of her themed lists (just the titles - leaving out the recs):

Horror for Sissies
Codes and Ciphers
Men Channeling Women
Books to Ignite Discussion
Space Operas

Just some examples from More Book Lust (which I keep by my computer so I can use it when reserving books from my library or shopping on Amazon).
