Reading path
For When You Can't Focus
An honest path for scattered minds. Every work here is built for interrupted reading: short chapters, episodic structures, stories you can enter and leave without losing the thread. No guilt. No commitment anxiety. Just brilliant writing in digestible pieces that rewards whatever attention you can give it. Start anywhere. Stop anywhere. Come back whenever.
In the app a path keeps your place, marks what you have read, and hands you the next work when you are ready for it.
The first button needs the app on this device; the second gets it there.
