Question to all you intellectuals out there

What would a guy like Daniel, in grad school but techinically on summer vacation, be reading at the beach? Or in general? Fiction or non-fiction ideas welcome. Even poetry. Titles, authors, and your most quotable parts - what would stand out about the work?

Gah. I am practically illeterate these days. And I am hoping for a few good quotes.

Making your suggestion, please also include a prompt for your porn!prize. Once I dig out of the two ficathons and the vampire piece, I want to go on a mini-ficlet spree! My research helpers should get first crack! (Heh. Crack.)

Thanks!

PS: Heck. While we're at it. What would Jack be reading, at the beach? Our Jack of today, not Academy Jack? (Or Academy Jack, too, if you want!)

LOVE!!!!
CK

Happy burbling

My ficathons are going to be so easy, it's not even funny! I already know what I'm remixing and have it started in my brain. I was TOTALLY cracking up AG33 in the car this morning describing sections to him. (That's gonna suck, too. No cookies. Must keep a secret. Wah.) I may actually remix a second piece, if I have time, which I should.

PLUS, my J/D ficathon assignment should work with an idea that came to me over the weekend and I have some really good ideas for THAT piece, too.

Not to mention that the vampire thing has been running amok.

I NEED some quality writing time. Seriously. But if I can get it, I imagine I'll be sitting impatiently on ficathon stuff for weeks before they are due.

Mysterious crossover

Because of course, if cocoajava says it, I *have* to do it. :D

Rodney stumbled backwards and would have fallen if not for the chair Radek deftly kicked over. It rolled to a stop at the perfect spot, catching him before he could go down on his ass.

Kermit was pounding away at the environmental controls station. Gonzo was hanging from the top of the white board, writing like mad (though all of the "equations" were completely nonsensical).

And Mrs. Piggy was sidling up to Sheppard, crowding his personal space and sniffing his forearm.

"Really, it has been quite an amusing morning," Radek commented blandly, continuing to review his most recent simulation results as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
