The books are chosen from among the ones published that year. You can't just vote for some random book that was written a decade ago. Did anybody even read how this is done? It's right at the top of the page. Duh.

I wish Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit or any of Tolkien's other works were here. I'm in 10th grade and I'm reading the Silmarillion and I really like it. I haven't read any of these yet and I just wish there were more classic books here.
