Voting should continue till a book gets a majority, with the least-favored book or books eliminated each round and made to leave the island, with the remaining books participating in a new poll till a book finally wins a majority. Political conventions used to work that way.
No, we have the voting open for a set period of time and the one with the most votes wins. That way is too complicated for a book club with a set period of time for reading.
