For nonfiction, one thing I've realized is that books are highly contextual and personal. A book that I found utterly useless and couldn't finish 10 years ago is suddenly extremely relevant to my life situation, and a book that I was excited to read again because it was my favorite a few years back is now completely irrelevant and boring. That's why book ratings and recommendations aren't really useful... Just read whatever topic you're currently curious about. It's probably different for fiction, but I've just recently started to get into that.
