I didn't see the New Leaf rule about voting only if you were prepared to read the chosen book as a problem; I abstained when the slate of books held no appeal for me--so what? And did anyone really care or notice if a voter ended up failing to participate for whatever reason?

So how would you select the books to be read? At the very least, someone has to choose something to be read.
I like the idea of genre based. The problem I found sometimes with New Leaf was that some books nominated didn't fit the topic but were allowed anyway.
TBH, it's unfair to vote and then not participate. The thing is, your vote could be the one to cause a specific book to win when maybe a different book would have won in a run-off vote. So I do think you should vote if you plan to participate. If something happens where you cannot participate, then just say you cannot participate.
