Simply put, the ratings system does not display some type of global 5-star ratings on books. Instead it figures out if books are more or less likely to interest each specific users. [...] It can even measure amount of time spent reading each page of each book to figure out the very specific interest levels.
So this cool rating system already exists (link, please!), and takes all relevant things into account. And on top of all that, it knows how much time you spend looking at the centerfold vs. the articles in Playboy? And how much time you spend reading Playboy vs. Hustler vs. the Taliban manifesto? ("You" in the above, because of course I would never look at such trash -- nor would any right-thinking person! )

for clarifying your point of view to this degree. I'm out of here.

PLONK!
