Small-Scale Question Sunday for July 13, 2025

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.

So, what are you reading?

Adding Who Killed the Berkeley School? Struggles Over Radical Criminology to my list, another open access book. It's from a radical left perspective, and sadly spends more time on the struggle than the Berkeley School itself, but its a good read.

I've been reading Ar'Kendrithyst on the recommendation of a few people here / another friend.

Book One started off really slow but I was enjoying the system exploration and the worldbuilding up to Book Four.

I'm in Book Five now though and I'm starting to drop off the novel. It feels too early to end the titular Ar'Kendrithyst, which kept getting hyped and foreshadowed as the greatest threat to the world, and which was imo the most interesting part of the word building. The "Worldly Path" arc feels a bit aimless since Erick is pretty much already a minor deity with every relevant god already in his rolodex to back him up, I'm getting a bit bored of this book pretty much just being him going around curbstomping everything.
