Early days, yet. As a great ballplayer once said, "It ain't over till it's over."
However, if "a lot of people" prefer more recent books, where are they? This is their chance to put up the books they'd like to read. Surely they can't expect others to nominate for them.
In fairness, though, you have to accept that classics is likely to skew to the older end of the spectrum. No reason not to nominate a more recent work, though, as you have. It's not the kind of thing I'd choose myself, but I'd read it If it wins.
