What perhaps we could do is come up with a template for the discussion thread that could fit with every book like:
What did you think of the main character?, What was your favorite part of the book?, What part didn't you like? etc. People could use it sort of like a form letter when the post their inital thoughts of the book.
Discuss... (should I start a new thread for this?)

I would be disincentivised by the prospect of leading the debate - on a worldwide forum I'm not sure it would be easy to be online long enough to do it.
But maybe the nomination could have a few pointers for potential discussion in addition to the synopsis - a bit of background about why the nomination was put forward.
I like the idea of the form letter though, I think that'd encourage more participation after the read.
