If I might make an observation (not a criticism): it seems some of these themes are tending away from our open-ended, "make it what you will", style to more specific selection criteria. I'm thinking specifically of We Were Here First, and 5-Buck Chuck; as JSWolf points out "Free for All" has many possible interpretations and so is more inline with the previously used themes. I don't have a big problem with changing the style of themes, maybe the old has run its course, although I wonder if it might raise queries/arguments about how well a book fits or does not fit, I just thought it appropriate to highlight the change.
And if we're happy with specific selection criteria, then, JSWolf, I do quite like your suggestion of No Time Like the Present.
I'm not a fan of 5-Buck Chuck, only because I see it as being difficult to manage across our global community. (Although, curiously, my most recent nomination would fit, so maybe it's not that hard.)
