Gilmore Girls thought.. (Rorys booklist)

I was thinking about Gilmore Girls again, i do that when i see a commercial for the repeats on tv - a channel i no longer get with free cable *sniff*

I wondered what book(s) people think Rory should have read but didn't get a chance to.

Personally, I can not help but wonder what she would have thought about something like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
