Also, general curiosity.

It seems to me that just about everybody is more rabid about not being told plot points in works they haven't yet read or seen than I am. I don't mind at all if you tell me what's going to happen, as long as you don't tell me the whole plot of the story. In other words, the Internet did not ruin Harry Potter and the Half-Blod Prince for me. By the time I got to the Big Awful Event, I had actually forgotten that I'd been told about it.

So anyway, what do you think?

I tend to blame my English lit degree, but I just can't get worked up about spoilers. My least favorite thing is to sit in a class where we're only "supposed" to read up to a certain point, and I've read ahead, and everyone who hasn't is spinning their wheels over some ridiculous speculation, but none of them want to be told what actually happens. I tend to approach most works as whole units, and, for me, if learning the ending spoils the book, I doubt it was a very good book to begin with.
