Welcome to READ THIS
READ THIS was created in the fall semester of 2006 as an extension of the English Club and continues to be published during the academic year. The founders, with initiator John Powers, wanted to make the new publication more accessible to the general community of Montana State University and Bozeman, giving it a conspicuous title and taking great care that the format is appealing - printing it on newsprint with a photo cover.
After our first issue, we received support from the MSU President, Geoff Gamble, and several college deans to continue growing and improving the publication. A large thank you goes to them.
Each issue contains literature and art from MSU students, the greater Bozeman community, and many authors from around the nation; we also continue to work on soliciting submissions from international artists.
The website is our companion to the print publication, so please browse previous and current issues, and take a look at the calendar for upcoming READ THIS and English Club events.

It didn't matter that he lived on the shit end of a shit town, shit-outta-luck and piss poor. It didn't matter.Up on that roof of peeling shingles, where the faint smell of tar hid the exhaust and oil stink of the neighborhood below, sitting with his bare back to the warm splintering wood around the dormer window, sitting up there he could see forever...
