Notes from Crew Quarters: Intended Reading Lists

Our editors were asked what books they haven't quite gotten around to reading yet.

Emily Doseck, Intern 

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman. It’s my best friend’s favorite and I’ve just never gotten around to it. But that’s the story for 87% of my bookcase sooo...

Molly Johnson, Intern 

Essentially my entire bookcase.

Bill Nyfeler, Associate Nonfiction Editor 

SPQR : A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard. If there was such thing as a break.

Ella Flores, Associate Poetry Editor 

The Bible.

Charlie Edwards, Intern 

The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google.

Sara Ryan, Associate Poetry Editor 

I have so many things that I have left unread, but I would love to dig into The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester. Because dictionaries are cool.

Gabriel Calle Associate Fiction Editor 

The Sun Also Rises.

Ginny MacDonald, Associate Nonfiction Editor 

The Odyssey and The Iliad. Because I always think I should have read them.

Robert Ball, Intern 

Lolita has always interested me. A wholesome family tale for some light holiday reading.

Krys Malcolm Belc, Associate Fiction Editor

Waiting for Godot!

Jennifer Howard, Editor-in-Chief 

Alias Grace.

Ethan Brightbill, Associate Fiction Editor 

The Lady Matador's Hotel by Cristina Garcia. I read Monkey Hunting in undergrad and loved it, so I bought her other book, yet I never even started it. No idea why. It's probably fantastic.

Jacob Hall, Associate Fiction Editor 

I have a collection of flash novellas from Rose Metal Press I stole from Jen last semester that I still haven't read. I'll give that back one day.
