2010 book poll, second attempt

Sorry for the annoyance caused by my poll yesterday; I think I had jammed too much HTML into it for those who share my reading tastes reasonably closely. I'm therefore trying again, leaving out the hyperlinks to reviews this time; hopefully this will work better. (Leaving yesterday's poll up, though, and will post grand totals from the two in due course.)
