I don't think it's any more ridiculous than lottery where anyone whom we don't really know anything about gets to pick some books. It could be someone from a publishing company flogging their books at that point. I'd rather pick a forumer we know and know something about things that interest them. orlok, whom I previously suggested and Nyssa have reasonably diverse tastes and I am pretty certain of them giving us an interesting selection of books to read

Specifying that a book in the MobileRead library should be at least 50 years old to qualify for a MobileRead Classic month is a bit redundant. All the classics in the MobileRead library are at least 50 years old.

Yes. There was a vote last year to allow the repetition of genres. I personally voted against it, as I'd like as much variety as possible, but there you go.

Like Nyssa, I was totally against it, but we were outvoted. I thought of nominating Science Fiction and Non-Fiction every month. Come to think of it, that wouldn't be a bad idea.
