Wow, it's almost like they figured that out too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/author_suggestions

Except they aren't stupid enough to automatically spam their customers' inboxes with alerts for every author they ever purchased from. You have to choose to follow an author.

There is also a Follow button on every single author profile.
