That would be great. As it is now, I do that work on my own. I don't have a huge amount of friends, I select many specifically on what books they read and if we match well. So I use the percentage match system goodreads has. But you have to find the readers first to use that tool. So now after a few years on GR, I know when I see ratings by friends and those I follow, I can be more assured I will like the book.
No sure thing in any case, but more often than not it works for me to find books I really will like.
But it would be nice if the system could suggest possible friends to me based on the books we both rated. Unless I "meet" them somewhere online, I wouldn't know they existed.
