Otherwise all you're going to get is 30 popular books and hundreds of 1 and 2 vote books. If people name their own 100 or up to 100, then you are in for a lot of work tallying it up - but I think it would be more accurate and satisfying.
wayspooled, I think that, in theory, you are correct, that would be a way of approaching this that would almost certainly lead to a truer result.

However, I doubt that more than a handful of people would have the time to compile and post a top 100 list.

The thread I promised to start is now up and running here.
