I read alot but lately cannot find anything I reallly like that I haven't read dozens of times before. Are there any websites where I can choose books I've liked and have it recommend something else I would also enjoy?

amazon is pretty cool. You have to sign in and then after you browse around, they will recommend books for you based on what you have looked at. Also, if you search a book you already read that you liked a lot, they have an option where you can search for similar items in books or you can look at the Listmania sections, those are lists that people have made, there are all kinds of things you can do on that site. I love it.

What should i Read Next is good, so is Novelist.
Your best bet is your local librarian. They know what is new, what is old you may have missed, and can recommend something (for free!) based on what you have liked already.
Read book reviews in magazines and newspapers, and check the blurbs on the back of books you like for author recomendations. Publishers usually get established authors to review other author's work, and it is usually someone with a similar fan base. For example, if you like John Grisham, read John Lescroart.
Also, check out bookslut.com
Post here again with what you like. Someone will recommend something similar.

Good books, you prob havent heard of.
Shantaram-huge book about finding oneself after a life of crime and drugs but well worth the read
The alchemist-a small book on dreams but again well worth the read
If you need more just let me know...

Here's a site where you can see what other people, particularly book groups, are reading:
