What about some form of multi-vote or instant run off? I can think of three books up there I'd love to read, but one of them is in a tie with an author/genre I have no interest in (King).

Can Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom be removed so nobody else votes for it? I see we have yet another wasted vote on an item that never should have been there.

Not cool, I am one of the people who voted for Down and out, and now my ONLY vote goes to waste. Someone said "it's only an informal book club." True, but this poll is so tight that now for me it's a matter of life and King!

Ok, the truth is that I have a two-month old baby at home, so I might end up being one of those who vote but don't read. So don't stress... Last edited by Francesco; 01-08-2010 at 10:59 AM. |

I have voted in the past but my choice has never won and if the winning book is not one which interests me, I don't read

OK, I want to recast my vote for The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster . I'm one the few who voted for Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Actually, I've read it before at is was kinda interesting.
