Good points. If choosing a book that the greatest number of people are willing to read is the goal, then multiple voting should work towards that and it doesn't really matter how many books someone votes for. There might be more ownership and incentive to read the book if you voted for it, even if it was not your first or even third choice.

I agree. An open vote will promote discussion which will keep the thread near the top of the new posts list and hopefully attract more attention to the book club.
