Leaving aside the copyright issue (if any), I personally wouldn't want to see whole chapters - or even just a few paragraphs - posted in the way suggested here. I think it's up to the person making the recommendation to get across the details of the books, its merits, and the reasons for reading it. If that motivates me to go further, I would then download the whole book from the library, or at least download a sample in the case of a commercial title.
But that's just my opinion. If the majority wanted entire chapters posted in a thread, that's fine.
