I have my read-everything-authors, browse through my Amazon recommendations, check out forums... No magic bullet though, I end reading lots of okayish books before finding something I really like. I might find perhaps 3 new authors I really like each year: Latest hits: Sharpe Series (2012), Hunger Games (June 2011), The Warded Man (December 2010)

BTW Amazon recommendations have lost a lot of their usefuleness for me as Amazon keeps separate lists for paper books and e-books. It recomends e-books I already bought on paper and the other way round.
