I say we do a double-blind triple preferential hidden public vote. Then once all the votes are in the Grand Muckity Muck types the book titles into random.org and tells us which book we will be reading.

I think any way we do multiple choice will work well and be better than single choice, though I think non-restricted multiple choice voting may be best for our club because of the above, and also because: -Simplicity - There's nothing to worry about or keep in mind as one votes besides choosing which books one would like to vote for. -No Extra Work/No Errors - There is no extra work for Tom, nothing to check on, nothing to adjust if a voter messes up, no chance of errors.

While I generally do not participate, I love reading the nomination, voting and discussion threads. Their value for me is in the exposure to new books I would not normally consider. Unfortunately, the threads have been cluttered with way too many club rules and book category nit-picking which to me have zero value to the discussion of the books themselves. I thought this is supposed to be a book club, not some super secret society with special handshakes and such. |

It has no bearing whatsoever on the new posts list, which is what I was talking about. Plenty of people use the new posts search in the forum toolbar to browse the forum and new posts in a thread are what pop a thread up to the top of the list. Having the bookclub voting thread pop up in that list because people are posting to it would help visibility of the bookclub and possibly attract new members. |

Yes.. the founding members of the book club meant it to be very informal way to get a group of people to discuss the same book after having read it. Matter of fact, the first book was selected without nominations or votes. But, the secret handshake.... it is COOL and will never go away. BOb |

But some have already said they do vote based on who voted and.or how many votes were already cast. So we know this to be what does happen in an open vote.
