I am finding that I use Amazon recommendations based on my past purchases more than I used to. While most of them are useless, every now and then one catches my eye and the book description will sound interesting. I've found a few new-to-me authors this way.
I haven't had much luck with the sites that say "if you like X, try Y." Usually the authors that come up for me are ones I am already familiar with, or else ones that don't really seem to fit my taste (based on synopses of their books).
I don't know the last time I found myself stuck with a real clunker. Sometimes the books aren't as good as I hoped from a synopsis, but usually I enjoy them well enough.
