Because this is a movie forum, not a literature forum. And I find no reason to spoil the fun of people at 'movie pace'. I didn't bother to read the books until after I'd enjoyed film 5, and thought Id' take the plunge. I then went and read all 7, and thoroughly enjoyed them. Fortunately my frienRAB and colleagues didn't have the same superiority complex about having read the books at publication pace, and didn't spoil the fun for me with regarRAB to books 6 and 7. A little bit of respect for others goes a long way - even on the internet.RAB policy states that a thread should not contain unmarked spoilers. It's not hard to hit the spoiler/swipe button, but in a movie thread, it's just common decency to not put unmarked spoilers about that movie in the thread.
