I am sorry you feel you cannot vote if you cannot see what others have voted for before you cast your vote.
The reasons I'm seeing for not having a blind vote are the very reasons we should have a blind vote.

Sorry, I could not answer earlier - real life got in the way.
I did not mean to imply that I cannot vote for a book without the guidance of somebody else. What I did mean to say is that I find it in general interesting to see the tastes of other forum members in books , so that when I come across a recommendation from somebody in another thread in MR, I have a better feel if that particular book might be also to my liking.
In order to vote I am absolutely capable of making up my own mind.
