From the beginning of the book club, the plan was to vote on the available books. It’s often difficult to pick a single book to vote for, given the number of books and the quality of each one, and coming to some sort of consensus is difficult. So we started allowing fractional votes. Each attendee gets to split his or her vote across all books, and the book with the most votes wins. This is the results for Monday night’s voting:
| Dan | Jon | Nick | Ted | Gem | Total | |
| The Ordinary | 40% | 100% | 45% | 50% | 47% | |
| Anathem | 10% | 55% | 60% | 5% | 26% | |
| Eifelheim | 50% | 40% | 15% | 21% | ||
| In the Garden of Iden | 20% | 4% | ||||
| The Child Goddess | 10% | 2% | ||||
| 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
