I'm a lurker who might or might not participate in the future. I would not vote if I had absolutely no intention of reading any of the nominated books. However, playing devil's advocate, i can imagine a situation where there might be one book on the list I knew I would not read. Maybe it's a book I previously tried to read and didn't finish and don't want to try again. Or someone suggested above the possiblity of nominating books in a variety of genres all related to a topic such as history. What if one book nominated is in a genre I'm just not interested in? Does this mean I shouldn't vote at all because I know I wouldn't read the one book if it were selected? Again, I might or might not participate in future anyway, so feel free to ignore.
