Another approach to finding new books that's different is through the site:
AllReaders.com that lets you choose:
* Plot
* Main Character
* Main Adversary
* Setting
* Style
It will choose books that match your criteria based on the information you feed it. This doesn't just work for Fantasy. They've also got the same setup for:
*
Romance
*
Literature
*
Mystery/Thriller
*
Biography
*
History
