Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 26, 2023

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.

Currently reading D.E. Stevenson's Five Windows, a bildungsroman about a young Scot making his way in post-war Britain and cultivating his gift for writing. Great so far.

Aside: I volunteer at a non-profit bookstore in my neighborhood on Saturdays. I started reading Five Windows last week, and so yesterday, I went to see if there were still some D.E. Stevenson books there. Indeed there were six or seven. I thought, "Forgotten British writer of light romances, dead for 50 years - surely those will still be there when I finish up. I'll go do my shift." Naturally, someone bought all of them while I was working. That'll teach me. But really, I'm happy to think that there's someone out there with the same taste that I have.
