Oh well, 16 for now…
I have finished one book from the list so far and that is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I’ve now started on Emma by Jane Austen.
I’d like to try and read all of Rory’s books.
A link to the list is here: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/9486
If anyone want’s to discuss any of the books from gilmore girls once rory’s book club on the wb site was the place to do it. However recently it has been shut down, so some members reformed it at http://rorysbookclub.proboards55.com/index.cgi
please come along, join up, join in etc
If anyone you know was a part of the old wb board please let them know as well :)
Also at the new board there is a comprehensive post full of books referenced and read by characters in the show so you may find that useful :)
