- Description: the booklist to end all booklists
- Author: bog bodies press

in preparation for the launch of issue 007, we asked our contributors to send us their current reading list, what inspired their piece and what their favorite place to read is. for now, we’ll give you the booklist to end all booklists - everything from post-nuclear apocalypses to wholesome stories of children against the machine. no matter what you’re into, you’ll find your next read here (at least until mnemotope 007 comes out, and then you’ll find your new favourite story!)
