One friend noted that even her knitting group list was dangerous! Some have mentioned that they and officemates cannot focus on their work. The coolest thing about CJers’ discussions, both on their personal blogs and via our email list, is their character analysis & their plot speculation. I can almost hear their squeals and excitement through the ether while they ponder whether Snape is hero or heel and speculate - with sound reasoning - who will die. [...] [...] CJers – almost every one of them – have attempted to avoid spoilers for “HP and the Deathly Hollows”, which in this age of web 2.0 is quite a challenge.

I wonder how much longer publishers will be able to keep books out of the public's hands until a specified and much hyped release date. It already seems just about impossible. And I did not click on your (or any other) spoiler links... with a great deal of self control required! And I'm not yet sure if when I get my copy I will immediately flip to the last page to see if HP is dead or not. I am soooo tempted. I guess I'm getting used to living in a world of spoilers where the end is never a surprise any more. Spoilers on this book, including the scanned pages, have been very interesting, I agree.

Jessamyn at Librarian.net has posted a link to a site that summarizes much of the posted book, chapter by chapter.  I warn you that the first thing your eye will see on the page, assuming it is true, will tell you a major, major element of the story.  I won’t know for a few days whether this has spoiled my reading of the book, but you get to decide whether it is better to wait and let J.K. Rowling tell you herself.  Jessamyn’s post is here, if you decide to take the risk.  The direct link to the summary is here.   [...] [...] p.s.
