Making reading tangents shorter since 2001

Do you ever find yourself reading a book and come across something needing more exploring, verification, or research? It interrupts your current read, till you have read Faust or looked up some scientific, philosophical or psychological theory. Then by the time you have finished the exploratory research you have forgotten what the context was in the beginning.
Having been the type of reader who would often sit surrounded by open books I cannot even begin to express my appreciation for Wikipedia.

The only problem with it is that sometimes these exploratory tangents lead into their own tangential path.
