Right, I knew that. I'm not saying that people don't read books they don't vote for. I'm sure we all do that at some point. We change our minds, we find some spare time, there's many reasons. And I agree without discussion there isn't much of a bookclub.
I do believe that even without discussion, there is still value in the nomination process.
It's part of how I find new directions in reading and it is often with books that don't win. The biggest reason that I participate is to find new things to read.
