I'm with Don -- post away, as far as I'm concerned. I do understand that
for some, a "spoiler" would indeed spoil things; but it seems to me that
either sticking "MD" in the subject line or using the word spoiler early
in the message ought to do the trick.
I'd be very disappointed if the group lost many people just because of
discussion of a new book that we haven't all read yet!

Sounds good.
Cheers,
