The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge
Stars Hollow sweetheart Rory Gilmore is the epitome of book worm. Never seen without a paperback in hand, her quiet intelligence won the hearts of many when Gilmore Girls first aired 20 (!!) years ago. She left teenagers across the country idolising her quirky sense of humour and lusting after her never-ending rotation of classic novels.

Here is the full list of books:
- by George Orwell
- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
- An American Tragedyby Theodore Dreiser
- Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
