Sure - the concept of this list and others like it is that when a book gets past the maximum ratings (for this list that means 25,000 ratings), it gets removed from this list and placed on the next. And this is done by a list maintainer who is also a librarian.

And this is done by hand. And any individual can only vote for at most 100 books - so that means some books graduate late.

The easiest way to help with these lists is to vote for as many of the books as you can - especially ones with only one vote. Some people are not comfortable doing that, since it may imply that you've read and liked all the books you voted for.
