The Internet Book List (IBList) is an online database with information about books, authors, short stories, etc. It is often called "the IMDb for books."
The project was started in 2003 by Patrik Roos. Later that year, Patrik transferred the site to Steven Jeffery, the present owner.
It currently contains information on over 44,000 books, 14,000 authors and 3000 series as well as over 3400 user reviews.
A rating system similar to that of IMDb allows users to rate books on a scale of 1 (really bad) to 10 (the best book you've ever read). A weighted rating system is employed to rank books, authors and series; currently A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin is ranked number 1. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams has received the most votes overall.
