I find the physical library to be a good spot to look for new authors. I browse the shelves looking for something that catches my interest, sample the writing and take it out if it looks like I might like it. If I like the book enough after reading, I can check out other titles by the same author or buy them if the library doesn't stock them. I know this sounds like browsing online, but actually being able to see the book jacket and read random passages in it makes it a lot less hit-or-miss.
