Hi,
I love the gilmore girls and have been hunting the internet but can't seem to find a decent list of some of the many references that are made to literature in the show.
I know there's loads though and i'm really interested to hear them if you can think of any!
Thanks

Hi! Hmm.. I don't have a detailed list, but I have noted some of the books they're talking about in the series ;-)
H.L Mencken - A Chrestomathy (He's truly a fantastic writer, with some very entertaining and interesting points of view)
Swann's Way - Marcel Proust (It's supposedly very good) and The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
(If you can't find a list, you can always watch the series again and make one) ;-)
Good luck with your further search :-)

Some of the references I remember are: Madame Bovary, Moby Dick, Howl, Ayn Rand, Hemingway, Proust, Gore Vidal, Dorothy Parker, Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, Norman Mailer, Garcia Marquez, The Iliad. And this is nothing compared to what I found here:

Check the shelves of this group -- directly based on the book lists from the series -- plus a few additional titles. And in back posts there are links galore to all sorts of Rory book lists though the one above is a good one -- improved since it first appeared.
