Personally, I think discussions should start when the book has been chosen.
People should be allowed to participate when ready. There has been a time or two when I've actually read the book, but by the time the discussion comes around I've moved on.
I would also suggest using the vote thread as the discussion thread; that could help lessen the workload. We can ask participants to either hide spoilers or keep the discussion spoiler free until the 20th.
For lead time concerns we should vote a month ahead (i.e. vote for August's pick in the beginning of July).
So July 1st - Vote for August pick, start reading and open spoiler-free discussions for July's pick.
July 20th - Open and/or allow spoilers for more in-depth discussion. Start nomination process for September.
August 1st- Vote for September pick, etc. etc.
