John kay steele biography of rory gilmore
•
I absolutely LOVED watching Gilmore Girls. Not when it was actually on TV – oh no, no – but YEARS after. I fell in love with it and then watched it over and over and over igen.
Those were the days.
I loved Rory’s reading addiction and had previously joined the Rory Gilmore Reading utmaning (back on my old blog) and thought it would be fun to join igen.
Of course, I doubt I’ll ever get through all of these books, but it’s fun to try, right?
I’m going to mark the books I’ve read in BOLD. Here are the books:
- 1984 bygd George Orwell
- Absolute Rage bygd Robert Tanenbaum
- The Age of Innocence bygd Edith Wharton
- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn bygd Mark Twain
- Adventures of Tom Sawyer bygd Mark Twain
- Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland bygd Lewis Carroll
- All the President’s Men bygd Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward
- All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy
- The fantastisk Adventures of Kavalier & Clay bygd Michael Chabon
- American Steel bygd Richard

Nose in a book
This challenge is quite simply to read every book that the characters Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (but let’s face it, mostly Rory) read or reference on the TV show Gilmore Girls. There are various versions of the “Rory List” floating around the Internet but I wanted to be sure my list was correct, so I have edited it as I rewatch the show. I’ve also split the list into books/stories, plays and authors. (This list is the outcome of a pretty detailed spreadsheet I keep of every book or film referenced – which character, which episode, etc. Let me know if you have questions about where a book is referenced and I’ll look it up!)
Books/stories
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain – read in 2003, but I also half remember my Dad reading it to me and my sister many years earlier
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll – read multiple times, originally when at primary school
All the President’s Men by
