Just the Title?? That's already like a klaxxon going off for me, if it's the title of a book I've not read (and have an interest in doing so). I've no business even opening the thread that's titled after a book I'm looking forward to reading.
As to not knowing if I might
ever want to read said book or not, it's unlikely I'd remember much spoilery detail from such a thread anyway. That's because I don't actually
read book recommendation threads. I skim them. Precisely because I don't want much in the way of particulars when it comes to recommendations.
Look: the poll gave me choices, and my choice was I don't really care. I don't care because most people here
aren't jerks, and they
do tend to use spoiler tags. And for the few who occasionally don't, my own precautions suffice. Everybody doesn't have to walk around on tiptoe because I haven't gotten around to reading a book that most of the reading world already has.
