In anticipation of the revival episodes coming up, i wanted to create a list of what I (and you, and your dog) think Rory would have read after the season ended. Rory is near and dear to my heart and is one of the fictional characters who I really aspire to be as a reader. Rory reads diversely, intelligently, and without discrimination; Sci-fi fantasy, biography, political, philosophical, even romance. So please pass this on to any Gilmore Girls fan and fellow booknerd who can give some great input. Please try to exclude books already mentioned on the official lists mentioned in the series!
