Voyager Crew's Bookshelves
Janeway
Classical literature, poetry, and every book Chakotay has ever owned, all “temporarily borrowed”
A few smutty romance novels she swears are “anthropological studies”
A stack of technical manuals she absolutely does not need
1001 Pubs to Visit Before You Die, bookmarked at every Irish one
A half-finished Klingon cookbook she keeps meaning to return to B’Elanna
A tiny notebook titled Coffee: A Love Story (self-authored)
Chakotay
A bunch of empty shelves
A couple of newly replicated self-help books
Tuvok
Vulcan poetry (the kind that makes humans cry from boredom)
Dealing With Humans: A Survival Guide - Expanded and Revised Vulcan Language Edition, which he has personally annotated with the intent of contacting the publisher one day with his recommendations
When Nasal Inhibitors Fail: A Tactical Response Manual
Vulcan recipe books, with recipes bookmarked for Neelix's interest in the hopes they'll be "zesty" enough to avoid alteration
War and Peace, because Janeway gave him it, insisting he “broaden his horizons”
He has read it. He did not enjoy it. It was originally Chakotay’s.
B’Elanna
Technical manuals, half of them annotated with “Tom, stop touching this”
Several smutty romance novels, and some steamy classical literature, loaned to her by Janeway, who cannot remember where she got them from...
A secret stash of poetry she will deny exists
Tom Paris
Technical Manuals for Dummies, all with sarcastic notes from B’Elanna
The Pop-Up Kamasutra (he claims it’s “for educational purposes”)
The Guinness Book of Galactic Records
A collection of pulp sci-fi novels he pretends are ironic
A holo-novel script titled Captain Proton and the Curse of the Spider Queen
Harry Kim
Sheet music. So much sheet music. Enough to build a small fort.
A self-help book Janeway gave him, filled with handwritten notes that look suspiciously like Chakotay’s attempts at encouragement
A book titled How to Advance your Starfleet Career that he keeps “for motivation”
A copy he was given by Megan Delaney as a gift
A third copy Tom got him as a joke
The Doctor
Photons Be Free
One poetry collection gifted by Janeway
Chakotay swears it’s his
A medical textbook he wrote himself, titled I’m Surrounded by Organics
A holo-novel manuscript called The Doctor’s Odyssey, which he insists is “not autobiographical”
A single romance novel he claims is “research”
Neelix
A few Vulcan books because he thinks the script is pretty
Every cookbook in the database, including ones he definitely shouldn’t be using
Books on herbology and home remedies, half of which contradict each other
A Talaxian children’s picture book called The Happy Leola Root
Kes
Horticultural books, many with pressed flowers inside
Fantasy novels and fairytales she reads to calm her mind
Anthropology books Janeway thought she’d like, but she's certain they belonged to Chakotay once upon a time
A meditation guide she borrowed from Tuvok and actually returned
Seven of Nine
She does not require books
She has perfectly memorised the entire database
B’Elanna gave her How to Win Friends and Influence People
She read it, annotated it, and returned it with a 47-page appendix explaining why it is “ineffectual”
She keeps one physical item: a tiny engineering manual Harry gave her, because he looked so hopeful
Ayala
Several of Chakotay's books he's spotted while in various peoples' quarters
He's feigned interest in them and plans to return them to Chakotay
Once he's read them himself, but he's a slow reader
Janeway has already borrowed one back from him
