Is the goal of the site to have people post ideas that ran through their mind as they were reading a book?

Or is to share ideas the book was introducing? How can you be sure people will discern the ideas a book introduced?

Is the goal for people to copy an exact sentence from the book?

What made you start working on this project?

I'd like people to post ideas and stories from the book (paraphrased, not copy-pasted). You can also add a link to each story, giving it more context.

I got started on this for two reasons.

First, I retain way more of a book when I'm forced to actively think about it while reading. Just using the site as a beta-tester I've found myself getting more deeply immersed then usual.

Second, I always crave more context when I read. I want to see what others think about an idea. I also would love to see a video, webpage or slidedeck about a single idea to dig deeper.

What would you recommend in general? Quality over quantity?
