We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If I only had a brain...
I say at least until after the paperback comes out. Not all of us can afford hardback prices.

What's the guideline for movies?

Movies guideline is: "Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release."
So, maybe, since it takes longer to read a book than to watch a movie, maybe whitefont all plot-related discussion for 1 month, and whitefont major HSQ (Harry & Draco 4Evah!!) until 1 month after the paperback release?

Sounds good to me.

Other readers' thoughts on that spoiler policy?

I don't like paying hardback prices, so I'm on the wait list at the library. I should probably have the book and have read it within eight weeks at the latest. (It's a long wait list, but it's a big library.)
That said, I'd be willing to avoid the thread or skim until I had the book, rather than force whitefont forever.
Edit: The modified movies policy would work for me.

And Steph is wrong. I think the HSQ in this one is going to be Ron shagging the hell out of Hermione, I do, I do.

Hell, I'll be happy if they get around to kissing, let alone shagging . I'm fine with the above-stated spoiler policy (although I'll have the book read by Sunday night, I'm sure!).

The policy works for me. I probably won't get my hands on a copy for at least a month or so.
