This would work quite well for those who want to share their reading 
but don't want to know what happens 200 pages down the road.   Thanks 
-  I'll do this for sure and I'll be saving posts which are related 
to pages beyond where I am.

BUT!   It gets hard to keep the reply post references within the 
limits of the first post when a bit more has been read.   So we might 
have to update numbers in the  subject line page  for every post that 
extends the number of pages read.   Or note them in the post with 
some paragraph split and **SPOILER** notes when we go further than 
the pages noted in the subject line.

Actually,   I'm not terribly worried about spoilers unless we have a 
"who-done-it" or other suspenseful situation (who will live and who 
will die?)  and the ending is revealed.   Remember when the ending to 
Blood Meridian was accidentally revealed?

my thoughts for now,

Bekah
