One thing I think is if you vote for a book and it wins the vote, you read it. But if you didn't vote for a book and it wins, you don't have to read it. That would solve the problem of having to read even if you don't want to. It could be you feel you won't like it or it's too expensive. So you vote for all the books you would read if any of them won. Problem solved (IMHO).

Another thing that may help is having the vote maybe two months in advance of when it's to be read so it would give us time to try to get it from the library. The problem as it was is that in a lot of cases, the line was too long to get it in time.
