I think something on that was suggested in the beginning and it was kinda shot down, because some may not like any that are suggested and wouldn't participate, etc....I think it's in the beginning thread...

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.
