This is not a very imaginative list of me, but I've been binging the new Gilmore Girls like every other fan of the show this weekend. I'm completely finished so if you wish to gush with me, feel free to do so. As with the original show, books feature a lot. Some were already on the original Rory Gilmore challenge (that I'm still making my way through), so I'm going with books that aren't on the previous list.
1)
Mark Renton 1: Skagboys by Irvine Welsh
Okay, the show references Trainspotting, but that's actually the second book in this series.
2)
Coming Into the Country by John McPhee
There's only a mention of the author on the show. This book is probably his best known one of you're curious.
3)
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
There's a big scene that is based around this non-fiction book about getting organized.
4)
Consider the Lobster and Other Essays by David Foster Wallace
Consider the Lobster is referenced at one point.
5)
Prometheus Bound and Other Plays by Aeschylus
The greek writer is referenced in a joke at some point. Here's a good selection of his work.
6)
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Another major moment is heavily inspired by this book.
7)
Tevye the Dairyman and The Railroad Stories by Sholem Aleichem
This classic Jewish writer was referenced at one point. I'll let you all guess who referenced it.
8)
Lyrical Ballads by William Wordsworth
This classic poet is referenced at one point. Here's a good book to get a beginners look at his work.
9)
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Poems and Other Writings
Again, a specific book was not mentioned, but this author was mentioned in a conversation.
10)
I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts On Being a Woman by Nora Ephron
There's a good joke at one point referencing this book.
