Yep, for me the ratings are a decent gauge for the quality of a book. Given the amount you read, it's likely that you'll exhaust the list of books that are highly rated and happen to be in your domain of interest. Since I read about 2 books a month ~ 25 books a year, I haven't faced this problem.

I suggest you look into English translations of books that are highly rated in other languages. Lots of hidden gems to be found this way.
