milkyway, where a universe opens the moment you pause Some sentences make you stop mid-read. milkyway is where the thought and the afterglow of that moment go. One book and one line at a time, a universe of your own takes shape, and it meets the universes of others who paused at the same book :) - Notes for the moments you paused - keep what you felt, not just a highlight - Questions that go further - a question lands on your note and carries the thought on - Meeting other universes - find and share what others took from the same book - A record that adds up - the books, the notes, the days you read become one trail Right where you stopped reading, open a universe of your own
