Books Featured in the Revival (Official)

[LS]

As you watch the new episodes please add to this thread any books that you see/hear mentioned in the revival episodes! And, if you can, please add which episode the book was featured in.

[Bethany M. Edwards]

I will be watching and checking off the list of books for sure. These are the top 10 guesses as to which books will be included in the revival! Crossing my fingers for at least 5!:)

I have watched the first two episodes and I haven't seen Rory with a book or reference a piece of literary work. But I will say I have been extremely stuffed full of food, exhausted and distracted with family. I will be watching the first two episode again.

Where were all the books, though?? I was expecting some more...

As far as i can remember, the books they talk about are:
- On the Road (Jack Keouac)
- The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (Marie Kondo)
- Cloud Atlas (David Mitchell)
- Wild (Cheryl Strayed)

+
[but I don't know if they count] they made clear/obscure references to these works:
- Little House on the Prairie (Laura Ingalls Wilder) >>> Sookie's bedtime story
- Alice in Wonderland (JM Barrie)
- Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte) >>> on the chalkboard at Chilton
- The Portrait of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde)
- The Raven (Edgar Allan Poe) >>> this may be a bit of a stretch, but it's there
- Moby Dick (Herman Melville) >>> actually it's just an allusion

There might be others, but I'd need to rewatch. This is what I can remeber.

I noticed Lorelei reading Wild in the Summer episode

[Heather]

Lor made a reference to Go Set a Watchmen in one of the first 2 episodes talking about someone writing a prequel with a character as a klan member... not sure if people caught that

[Jessica]

I think they made a reference to
- Cyrano de Bergerac (Edmond Rostand) in the first episode;
- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Frank L. Baum) in the last one, when Rory says goodbye to Logan's friends.

And the one is reading Jess, it is "My struggle" by Karl Ove Knausgaard (vol 2)

This looks like a partial yet exhaustive list (I mean, in this topic there are quite a few more) - it's apparently still being updated, so it's not complete, but it can be a good starting point.

Oh, and the whole Rory-wtites-a-book-about-her-family storyline is a clear shout out to "Little Women" ;)
