"Fantasy - in small doses - and literary fiction. Useful nonfiction, like histories that bother to be interesting and thaumatology and stuff about subtle arts - but those aren't things I should probably be wasting my interplanar bar visit on."

"I like science fiction and social speculation the most."

Permalink

"Science fiction's okay. In small doses, again, I shouldn't get a great big stack of it from here, it just makes me sad if I read too much because I don't have a spaceship or anything."

Permalink

"Huh. I don't have that problem, but to each their own."

snort. "No, but I don't want one badly enough that it dings my enjoyment of books that have them."

"Fair enough. My problem is not normal."

"I think it's also called Telluria, but I have no idea what that one means."

"I mean, I guess 'Earth' is descriptive... is your sun named 'Fire'?"

Permalink

"It's named the Sun. Or Sol."

Permalink

"Well, I hope you have other feats of creativity as a plane."

Permalink

"...I mean, we've got art and literature and stuff."

Permalink

"Exactly. And hopefully your music has lyrics other than 'song song song song'..."

She bursts out laughing.

"And your art consists of something other than exquisitely calligraphed: paint paint paint..."
