Nice! I've been looking for a reliable book ranking site. The main rankings skew to the "classics" that don't always hold up (looking at you Moby Dick) but the books in the genre filters look more interesting.

A couple questions:

* Is this primarily intended for discovering new reads, or for people who've already read the books to debate which is greatest? I found the book descriptions sometimes give away too much, to the point where I stopped reading them for any book I might be interested in reading for pleasure. Examples include The Great Gatsby and Madame Bovary. Perhaps you could have a concise description that stays far away from plot points, and a more expanded description behind a "more" link.

* What dictates whether a series has one place on the list or separate places? Narnia has one for the whole series but Harry Potter has individual listings per book.

* Are ratings and reviews from your own site taken into account in the rankings?
