I think we can even do it here in this Fiction group (was kinda surprised to not see that going on in the first place). But if it were its own group I'd more than likely participate.

On spoilers: I think by default it would have to allow spoilers otherwise we wouldn't be able to discuss the book. We could have certain spoiler rules, such as using white text and clearly setting an alert in the subject line. But I would expect to see spoilers if I opened a book discussion thread.
