It's a shame the objections to an open vote weren't brought up earlier, but I guess that can't be helped. I can certainly understand why people might object to open votes in some situations ... but these ones? Isn't a vote for your favourite/best book simply a recommendation? What's the difference between a vote on these versus a post saying "Hey, I really enjoyed book x?" ... Of course, maybe those objecting have never made such a post.
The reason why I'd like this to be an open vote is that I have been intending to treat the results much like I treat any other book recommendations on this forum. Having been here for a while, I know whose tastes seem most compatible with my own, so their votes for a particular book have more significance to me than others. The anonymous totals, for me, will have little more than a minor curiosity value.
