Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 30, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Last week I finished reading Chingiz Aitmatov's novella The White Ship. In spite of the shoddy translation and atrocious typesetting, it was very affecting, and the ending had me tearing up a little bit even though I'd sort of guessed what was going to happen around chapter 2.

About one-third of the way through China Mieville's The City and the City. Loving it, the Kafka comparisons are well-earned.
