Think that they should have some sort of neutral rating for these. I dont like or dislike Neal Stephenson just does nothing for me.

I'd put "didn't do anything" as a negative -- why waste time on boring?

But they do need a "I have no interest in reading this" category. I've heard enough about The Handmaid's Tale -- have not read it, don't want to.

They let you leave entries blank, which fits with "no interest in reading" AFAICT.

BTW, I'd suggest a category for "never heard of it before taking this test." Five of the books above fall into that category for me.

Out of curiosity, why were you unimpressed with Good Omens?
