GiGi Goodbye...

I've long shared one major characteristic with a character of one of my favorite shows of all time--Gilmore Girls. As you all know, I (and Rory) love to read. And I've often said that just by observing Rory's love for books, and reading everything she read, one could get a wonderful education, at least in the literature department. After all, she did attend Chilton and Yale.
With the series finale this week, I thought what better of a time could there be to post some of what our favorite bookworm heroine was reading all these years. I own each season on DVD, and watch them frequently. Over the past months, anytime I've popped in an episode, I simply jotted down what Rory was reading, either for school or pleasure (usually both). Following is a rather extensive list of books to start with. And this is just Season 1!
