“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies… The man who never reads lives only one.”  – George R.R. Martin

With this in mind, all the works below and even the painting above depict or embody another person’s perspective. Whether it be through a memoir or a fictitious story created by one of these writers, there are many doors to be opened and different pairs of shoes to try on. You may only live once but might as well try and have a couple more through reading.

Thank you to all our writers, especially those who submitted these wonderful pieces of literature, and members of the Egerian! Also, thank you to Mr. Hogan, our faculty advisor, and Audrey Jiang, our co-president, for all their help in making the Egerian magazines possible, and I would like to give a special thanks to Tessie Wong for this masterpiece that she put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into creating and graced us to use as our header art this year!
