Interesting suggestion CRussel. I can see how this would give each of us a bit more flexibility. On the other hand, it could add to the confusion.
Let's say 10 people each nominated two books, and seconded or thirded two other books. If all the same books were fully nominated, we would still at best only have 10 books fully nominated and 10 not. But we might finish up with only five or so books fully nominated and a whole lot with one nomination plus a second.
Of course if 10 people each nominated one book and seconded/thirded three others, we would have more than enough votes to go round.
Mathematics was never my strong point, so please correct me if I'm wrong!
