I agree with chaley that this should be a plugin (it is the only way to show ratings). You would need to configure:

column for read_count
column for rating

And the plugin would apply to some books, calculating the rating.

The first "fulfill" of columns could be done with search and bulk metadata edit. For example: read_count:<=2 and rating:false => Assign 1 to rating... And so on.

But, later, for maintaining it, you should execute the plugin any time that read_count changes (I do something similar for books in a series, and it's a manual task).
