All I can say is keep away from youtube(don't read the flipping comments, either), fansites, and even most sections of this board until you are done. I joined the board after I finished AFFC and before I read ADWD. I did not dare venture outside of the still reading section. Even some of the TV show section has book stuff since the discussion of the tv show tends to bleed into discussion of the books for those who read them. We try to mark threads and post with Book Spoiler tags, but it is very easy to slip and forget every now and then.

The best fake spoiler I read and believed was that

Spoiler

Dany goes to Westeros with her dragons in ADWD and starts burning fuckers left and right.

I read all five books last summer. Even speed reading and avoiding most of the internet for the entire time, I got spoiled about a character dying in ADWD. At the site I was using to download the book...

Now I'm re-reading at a normal pace since I missed A LOT.

I have friends that are trying to read the series for the first time but still look up asoiaf related things on the internet. They get spoiled constantly.
