When is a spoiler not a spoiler?

I have read all the books so far, and I intend to read Winds of Winter and whatever comes after that.

If I read that chapter, is it a spoiler? Well, technically, no -- because it's the actual book. The book can't spoil itself. Still, I kind of want to wait for the actual book in its entire book form.

Still, if I don't read the chapter, will someone spoil it before I read it? It's a conundrum.
