I don't know if the OP is still interested, but I've just discovered a website called booklamp.org . It seems really interesting. It recommends books to you based upon books that you've liked by using something called "storyDNA". It compares books based on pace, perspective, dialogue, description and other stuff.
Unfortunately, their datebase doesn't seem to be great as I couldn't even find John Steinbeck, but I think that is because they don't have the proper permissions from publishing companies. I could find an author I like by the name Jonathan Lethem though, who I couldn't find on most other suggested sites.
It might be worth checking out.
