Anyone who has ever watched an episode of Gilmore Girls knows about Rory Gilmore’s book addiction. (If you haven’t seen Gilmore Girls, what are you waiting for? Fix this.) Last year Australia writer Patrick Lenton compiled every book every mentioned on Gilmore Girls, all 339 of them.

So many of these are on my ‘to read’ list and I look forward to getting to them. Others I’m OK skipping. I don’t think I need to know how to cheaply traverse Europe circa 2003. I’m curious how some of my bookworm friends measured up.
