Well, I'm going to keep voting "un-tactically" in the future as well. It's not like anyone is going to force me to read the winner... or... is it...? <worried look on my face>
I look at this is good tips on what to read and I'll probably read a couple of the non-winners!
PilotBob has threatened that in the past....it could happen....

i think the votes (the ones to 1984 and anna) are a result of people viewing the results before then voting on one of the top 2 knowing the others now have zero chance.
Inaccurate in at least one case...ME. I vote for what I want and popularity be damned. That being said, I'm not doing Tolstoy again for anybody

i like to do things as intended as well. i voted for 1984 because i nominated it but i voted first then looked at the results. i feel as if i'd be cheating myself if i saw the results first.

I usually wait till the end, and vote for the one I'd rather read (out of the leaders), if the vote is close . For example, Anna probably would have been lower on my list, but since I read 1984 before (and enjoyed it, and think I will enjoy it more then Anna, and think that probably most people would enjoy it more then Anna); I voted for Anna because I want to read something I haven't read before.

If it was a blind pole, I probably would have picked Don Quixote or Dorian Grey.
