Re: Book club - April poll

[(Anonymous)]

I vote for the choice that is most likely to result in us reading something that I want to read. If there's nothing I want to read, or my vote's not going to make a difference, I will sit that round out or throw away my vote. But when I'm choosing between Book A (which I hate with the passion of a thousand suns, and I think will lead to a horrible discussion, and for some reason has 34 votes) and Book B (which is fine and I think will lead to a fine discussion and wouldn't mind reading, and which has 33 votes) and Book C (which I really want to read but which has literally 0 votes), yes, I'm going to vote for Book B, because it's something that I'll be able to enjoy reading at least. And that's frequently what happens when I do nominate my own books, for the record.

Whereas if there were checkbox voting, I would just vote for books B and C and be fine. Which I think would be better.

Of course it's not the end of the world either way and if people disagree that's fine. I just wanted to mention it.

That defeats the entire idea of a bookclub though. Just vote honestly for the book you'd like to see read and discussed and leave it at that. No railroading.

NAYRT, but you seem to have a really weird concept of book clubs. People don't join book clubs to read books they hate. They join to drink wine discuss books with other people who enjoy reading. Most of them have a theme of some kind, which we don't, so even if the book that month isn't something they'd choose to read on their own, it's tied into something that they're interested in. Also, AYRT isn't trying to railroad. If anything, they're trying to gerrymander.

NAYRT

What? How?

My voting process is similar to the anon above. The books I want to read the most tend to do badly in the polls, different tastes and all, all fine. So I just vote for the book I may want to read less, but still want to read. Why would I 'waste' my vote on a book that has no chance of winning, when another one I would also like to read might actually win the poll?

I'm all for discovering new things and going out of your comfort zone, but I'm not going to read and/or pay for books, where the synopsis already tells me it's going to be garbage (for me personally, obviously).

That's like, the fifth rule of Book Club, right?
