I look at this is good tips on what to read and I'll probably read a couple of the non-winners!

Oh goodness! No, no one is going to make you read
anything! As I stated earlier, I am not reading
1984 regardless of the results.
Many of us have increased our TBR (To Be Read) lists, thanks to these Book Club Selection polls; that's half the fun. I hadn't even heard of
Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc,
Riders of the Purple Sage, or
The Diary of a Nobody before this week.
The whole point is to have fun, read when you what you want to read, when you want to read it. You can also start book discussions on any books you are interested in, outside of the book club. It would just be nice to have "honest" poll results at the end of the day. We just might surprise ourselves.

seeing the results before you can vote takes everything away, i think the votes (the ones to 1984 and anna) are a result of people viewing the results before then voting on one of the top 2 knowing the others now have zero chance.
if you had to vote then see the results i bet you'd have a wider range throughout.
