Rory Gilmore's Book List Challenge


AbielleRose

Recommended Posts

There has been some discussion around the forum lately about several members wanting to do a book list challenge based upon the books that have been read or mentioned by the great Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls.

 

The list is a whopping 250 books long so (more than likely) we won't be covering every single one. I was thinking of roughly 4-5 a year (just think, at that rate it would take us 62.5 years to complete the whole list!). :) If anyone has any input about how best to go about this (since we all have our own personal reading lists in progress) please comment, suggest, debate below.

 

Once I have converted the list from the Excel spreadsheet to a Word doc I will be posting it below in the reserved spots. (If anyone already has the entire list on a Word doc and would be willing to email it to me please send me a PM!) Until then, here is the link for Shona's Book Shelves where the list we will be using can be found.

 

http://shonasbookshelves.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/rory-gilmore-reading-project/

 

A few questions that need answering:

 

Do we all want to agree upon a book to read and then discuss?

Do we each want to choose our own books from the list and read separately?

What kind of time frame should we have if we have one at all?

Can I just ask, and I can delete this post after - what on earth kind of show is it that mentions 250 books? How do they come up, is she a book worm, or quote them a lot or something? Just curious, I've never seen the show :)

:lol: She is a book worm Ivy League bound high school student. You should really watch the series, I think you would like it!

Once I have converted the list from the Excel spreadsheet to a Word doc I will be posting it below in the reserved spots. (If anyone already has the entire list on a Word doc and would be willing to email it to me please send me a PM!)

You can do that if you select 'file' (under the Google icon), then download as... then select 'text' then when the box asks you how you want to open it, you can browse and select 'Word'. :lol:

 

I also have a spreadsheet version of it where you can mark off the books read and work out the percentage done if anyone wants it uploaded - I did it last week when it was discussed somewhere but have decided I have enough challenges at the moment without adding another 250 books to the list! :)

Nolliag, I almost want to say that you'll have to watch it to appreciate how the books play a part, but Rory is definitely an admirable bookworm and book titles and quotes play a (I feel) big role in the series - it surely makes for witty dialogue, anyway. :lol:

 

I have already read a few books on the list. I would like to participate in the challenge if I have the time. :) That being said, and to answer one of CaliLily's questions, I think if I do participate I'd like to select the books myself. There are a lot of interesting reads on there, but also a lot that doesn't appeal or spark my interest at all.

I would love to join in - I'm a recent convert to the Gilmore Girls having been watching it Monday to Friday every week on E4 :) There's a few on the list I've already read but am definitely interested in the challenge :lol:

Great to see so many people interested! :)

 

I think that because everyone has different tastes and we have all probably read at least few books from the list we should choose our own, too. That way everyone can get the most out of this little challenge.

 

The list is composed of some of the best traditional and modern classics out there so hopefully everyone can find a few they would enjoy reading.

 

I would also like to note that you don't have to be a Gilmore Girls fan or even know anything about them to join in. It is a great show and Rory is one heck of a great character, but you don't have to know the whole background in order to enjoy this little challenge. (I would, however, personally encourage everyone to watch at least one episode because it is a great series!)

Nice job setting up the thread CaliLily :lol: Great to see so many eager participants!

 

I suppose it's best that we choose the books we're going to read on our own ourselves, but I don't mind trying to coincide my own reading of a certain book together with someone else. That means that if I know I'll be reading a Rory book I'll be mentioning it here beforehand to see if anyone's up for reading the same book. You can do the same thing if you please so maybe someone will be inspired to read the same book at the same time :)

 

If eveyone wants to choose their own books, what do you all think about the timelines then? Do you think we should all read a Rory book at the same time (whichever book we individually choose) or are we to read them in our own time as well?

I'm happy to go along with the majority but it might be nice to be reading some of them at the same time, for an extra bit of encouragement :D

 

Me too, it's nice to know someone else is reading the same book and maybe compare notes afterwards :) And it doesn't mean that everyone who's taking part in this challenge has to be involved in reading that same book, but if there are other willing people then a little sub-group could be temporarily formed for that book. Wow that sounded really official but I do mean it in the most casual way :lol:

Thanks for setting this up, Abby. I'm so glad to see a lot of people joining in. :lol:

 

I've been looking at my list of Rory books on my TBR pile, and thought I'd mention a few to see if anyone is interested in joining me for a read one day. I'm pretty flexible so I can work around others' schedules. :)

 

Mitch Albom: Tuesdays with Morrie

Emily Bronte: Wuthering Heights

Daphne Du Maurier: Rebecca

Jeffrey Eugenides: The Virgin Suicides

Allen Ginsberg: Howl

SE Hinton: The Outsiders

Ira Levin: Rosemary's Baby

Margaret Mitchell: Gone with the Wind

I have these also on my TBR (except for the Levin book but I think I can borrow that from the library and I've been wanting to read it for a long time) so I'd be happy to join you in reading some or all of them - but only if the book in question suits my mood at that time, otherwise I'll start to feel like I'm doing homework :lol: I think you know what I mean? :) You can go ahead and read them any time you like of course, and I'll just jump right in if it suits me ;)

 

The ones that are on my TBR and which I'd like to read at some point in the next couple of months are

Vincent Bugliosi: Helter Skelter

Truman Capote: In Cold Blood

I know exactly what you mean. You have to be in the right mood for the book at the time otherwise I've found that it can affect your enjoyment of it. :lol:

 

I remember enough of In Cold Blood to discuss it with you when you read it, and I'm really tempted to buy Helter Skelter as well. :)

 

I'll definitely let you know if and when I get to any of the books I listed.

I'll read these ones with you! I've already read Tuesdays With Morrie, Wurthering Heights, and The Outsiders but they are three of my favorite books so I would love to refresh them in my mind. :lol: Tuesdays With Morrie is in my top 5 favorites of all time.

Haha Kylie, I'm psyched to hear you're getting the Helter Skelter fever as well :lol: I wanted to buy this book for ages because I discovered the fascination of true crime last year and my friend suggested HS. Then I finally ordered it during holidays, got it last week and only then noticed that it's on Shonali's Rory List! What good luck :)

 

CaliLily, have you already gotten the Shonali-list as a Word doc? If not, I've just rewritten the whole list and put it in alphabetical order and you can copy+paste it from the first page of my reading list, in the Shonali section. Two posts needed for the whole list ;) (When you copy+paste it you don't need to worry about my own overlining and bolding of the books because you'll find you'll get it the normal way when you paste it, but do notice that I've marked my own TBR's on it :D)
