This way all nominations remain equally in play. So for example, my vote might be:

1. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
2. The Seducer (by Jan Kjaerstad ?)
3. Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner
4. Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
5. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

In the calcuation (which again is easy with two minutes in Excel), #1 gets 5 points, #2 gets 4 ,#3 gets 3, #4 gets 2, and #5 gets 1. Most points wins. And I'll volunteer to do the math.
I say, lets for for this method - if everyone agrees (and Alex volunteers to do the math ).

What happened to I, Lucifer?
