Been there, done that, currently designing the t-shirt.
Most of the time that I get into that state, it's more a case of me figuring out what sort of book that I'm in the mood for. I think that I have to read one of the books in my to be read list, but none of them quite match my mood. So I'll read a few pages of one, then try another one. Usually, what I do in that situation is go back and re-read a favored book or series. That seems to break the mental log jam.
I also find that sometimes when none of my favorite authors have anything new, I'll explore indies, backlists and non fiction. For example, since this is kind of a dead time for new releases, my purchases since November 1st include two new David Weber, a new JA Sutherland book, 5 books on mythology, 3 back list books, a book on volcanoes, and a couple of history books, and 7 indies. After reading the Weber books and the Sutherland book, I bounced around the other books reading a few pages in different books before deciding to re-read the first couple Ring of Fire series by Flint.
