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.
I follow one blog just because I know if she rates it bad I will love it most of the time. So you can also find those who have opposite tastes to find books you like. Just look at their DNF or one stars ratings.
