Thanks for taking on this task. I think the way we're doing this is not bad but let me throw out a possible modification. What if we had a designated person each month come up with the names of say 4 books? Maybe this could be done through the same solicitation process we've used here. Post the names of 4 books and everyone may vote for 2 of them not necessarily in any order. The top vote getter wins. I think ranking the books is awkward because I'm not sure you're going to come out with any sort of a clear winner and I think it would be better if our choices are limited. Those favorites that don't make it can always crop up again when it is their proponent's turn to choose.
My system doesn't get around the issue of what happens if the book is of a type that the leaders don't want to discuss.
