frankie Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Ooh, thanks Frankie! I didn't pick up on all of these as the show aired, but I'm glad someone was paying closer attention. I'd say around half of these books were referenced in the original series. And according to the spreadsheet I keep, Huck Finn has been referenced more times than any other book. Yep, most of them are 're-mentions' I was hoping for more new titles, modern ones! I'm watching the episodes again and picked up on another reference: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (in the spring episode). Oh yeah, Cloud Atlas was actually the one that I noticed myself! It was in reference to the Shropshire book, right? In other news, Kylie's informed me of another list of the new titles and I shall now update the one I made last week. Edit: I updated the list in my previous post above ^ but you can also read it here: The List provided by these two sources here and here. Irvine Welsh: Trainspotting Mark Twain: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn J. R. R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings Walt Whitman: Leaves of Grass (there are other titles in the picture on the link. “Some other favorites featured include Proust and Euclid. “) Jack Kerouac: On the Road Marie Kondo: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying up Sun Tzu: The Art of War David Foster Wallace: Consider the Lobster Cheryl Strayed: Wild Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina Sholem Aleichem: Tevya The Dairyman and the Railroad Stories Edward Albee: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Nora Ephron: I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gray Karl Ove Knausgård: My Struggle Edmond Rostand: Cyrano de Bergerac Arthur Miller: Death of a Salesman Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre David Mitchell: Cloud Atlas Diana Gabaldon: Outlander George R.R. Martin: Game of Thrones William Wordsworth: Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat, Pray, Love William Shakespeare: Macbeth Jack London: Call of the Wild Laura Ingalls Wilder: Little House in the Big Woods Edited December 2, 2016 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Today I finished my first Rory Gilmore read of the year. It was Terms of Endearment by Larry McMurtry and I did not like it at all. I can't remember how this work is referred to in the series: whether it's the actual novel or the movie that was mentioned. Or just a character in either two. But I have a feeling it's the mother of the novel that got the book/movie to the list. I have a feeling this is a rare occasion of the movie being better than the book.
