Looking for a good read? Follow these directions:

1) Go to amazon http://www.amazon.com

2) Pick your genre

3) Sort by reviews

4) Pick the books with the most number of positive reviews

5) Read a few of the negative ones

6) Go out to Google and search for the books you selected

7) Pick up reviews from other non-book-review sites, like hn or reddit

8) Confirm selection by comparing notes from various sources

9) Get the book to read

Or you can just go to http://hn-books.com and let somebody else do all of that for you

EDIT: It occurs to me that perhaps you're making a snarky comment which I'm ignoring, but just be aware that the biggest problem in finding great books isn't piss-poor search strings and frustrating google search results: it's fans who love author X and are going to give him/her positive reviews no matter what they write. It makes it difficult to use review systems. I don't think that in a net of a billion people and a trillion web pages you're ever going to find a simple method for locating a good book to read that's going to stay the same over any length of time. There's simply not enough description in "good book to read" to have any meaning. There's a huge amount of implied context that is relevant but not supplied.
