I haven't actually done this one in a while...

From [personal profile] philomytha, "Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!"



The Tau'ri simply assumed everyone could read.

"SG-1," Jack answered, because that was the only answer that had ever made any sense.

One of the most delightful things about traveling not to a parallel universe but to one which intersected at right angles with his own reality was that there tended to be so many books around that he hadn't read.

And perhaps this meant Cordelia really wouldn't be offended if he wrote to her about what he'd been thinking; he'd written those sorts of love letters a few times, although he'd been younger and drunker and cribbed half his material directly from the letters Ges wrote to him first.

Aral's love letters! That sentence is practically a complete story in its own right. And that never occurred to me about alternate universes - loads and loads of new books to read!

I've already had Moments of Existential Angst over the fact that I could never read all the books in my little local library (read:visit all those fascinating worlds in the pages) let alone all the books in the world. If I was confronted with a whole different world of books (on a bad day) I think my head would implode.

The first one is intriguing. The intersection of reading/non reading cultures isn't something you think about every day, yeah?
