The Cellar - View Single Post - Cellar Book of the Month discussion group

Regarding the question of when its ok to talk about the book and avoiding the thread till one has finished the book, one thing we could do is put a moratorium on discussing book one till we move on to book two. In theory, at the end of month one, we are supposed to finish book one and start book two. So, it might make sense to wait to discuss book one till the start of month two (and so on..).

In this way, I think the discussion would be the richest since half the members aren't avoiding the thread because they aren't through yet - i.e., everyone can participate in the discussion, which seems to be the point of the exercise.

I usually hate ideas that involve moratoriums on posting about stuff but would like to know what everyone else thinks about it.
