Of course, people are welcome to make their voting intentions known in this discussion thread, if they wish. Which may be better, as then they can talk about why they've chosen a particular book, if they so wish.

For me making the poll anonymous will make it less interesting and useful. I also don't really understand what the concern of those who would refuse to have there online handle here associated with such a vote is. I wonder if those who are so reluctant to have there votes public ever buy books online, say from Amazon? Still this is probably the wise move to prevent the enterprise being derailed.
