Adding the possibility of someone else's notes makes the situation even worse. Now I stumble on their thoughts which could be wildly different from what I am perceiving/enjoying in the book.

The above is much less of a problem if you're reading non-fiction. Someone else's thoughts on guide books or an introduction to philosophy, or the history of the Chinese tea ceremony, could enrich the reading experience of a book on the topic.
