Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 5, 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.

So, what are you reading?

Still on Watts' The Way of Zen. Also reading some essays on here critical of Zen. I'm a bit surprised at how recent the discussion is. For some reason I thought that all the robe-wearing men had their sex scandals long ago. It does appear that it was talked about in the 70s, though few consequences came from it.

Just started Masters and Mages by Miles Cameron. Excellent so far, seems a pretty standard high fantasy trilogy.

His other series, The Traitor Son Cycle, is a breathtaking masterpiece of high fantasy that even manages to be relatively historically accurate. If anyone is looking for a new fantasy series I’d highly recommend it.
