Tyler Cowen's "What I've been reading" blog posts[1] have been a great source of book recommendations for me. He reads an unbelievable number of books across a lot of fields and topics, so it's likely that you'll see something that interests you at least once every couple posts.
Once you've identified interesting books, you also have to do some "triage" to identify what to actually read now. My strategy: Every time I find a book that looks interesting, I use Amazon's "Send a free sample" feature to send a sample chapter to my Kindle. Whenever I finish a book (or get bored with the one I'm reading), I'll flip through the samples I downloaded until I find one that holds my attention, and then I'll buy the book (or get it from the digital library if available) when I get to the end of the sample chapter.
Goodreads also purports to provide book recommendations based on the reading list you've uploaded, but I haven't had good experiences with that so far.
