Talk about it as you go along, just make sure to use spoiler tags if you're talking about significant events. It's always best to wait to hop in until you've read at least most of what we're reading.

This, to me, exemplifies exactly why I wrote Bell Hammers. It was a Democratic commissioned survey of the town of my birth in the 50’s when only 5,000 people lived there.
