My habit with literature is solitary and introspective.  I protect my
experience by excluding outside information especially when the subject is
potent and meaningful to me as is the case here.  I assiduously avoid
reviews of M&D, carefully saving them for later enjoyment.  I have done the
same with the spoilers on this list and appreciate the extra effort
required by the faster readers among us.
