- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (90s twice listed and that was a close one)
Waiting with great expectations for the voting/discussion. Should be the noble thing to do: do vote only for books you have read.
Will it be "vote for the best" or "vote for the three best (1-2-3)"?
+1 - should be obligatory in the voting thread(s): "I have read x of the y nominated books for the decade"

I disagree about the mandatory reading. For one, you can't police it and this is all in good fun. For two, I might want to vote for an expected good book in a genre. Let's say I haven't read a cozy entry, but that's my favorite genre. Why couldn't I vote just on that expectation?
I mean, sure, it would be nice if we all read what we voted for, but sometimes we might want to vote AGAINST a book we have read and that might mean picking something else for that timeframe that we haven't read. For example, I'd pick just about anything other than Wuthering Heights (I don't think it's in the list anyway, but just for the example).
