I’ve never been a fan of Charles Dickens. Not since grade five, when I starred as Starving Orphan #12 in that great classic, Oliver Twist.

Daughter of Fortune is one of the books that nobody seems to know why it was included on the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge list.

This is a goddamn delightful book, almost entirely because of the unique lens through which we see the world.

Why is everyone vaguely psychic in Stephen King books? And what the hell is it with shitty Tad’s scary closet?

Like the Salem ‘witches’, Lane is guilty until proven innocent, and her innocence is impossible to prove.

The entire purpose of the novel seems to be a sort of wink-wink nudge-nudge inverse portrayal of Victorian history.

So, Crime and Punishment: it’s a book about a guy who kinda wants to murder someone, and then he does, and then he freaks out.

Balzac’s observations are made in such a way that you can imagine them as the #hottakes they once were.

There’s an unexpected prison friendship, a gaol break and hidden treasure!

There were two stories that gave me brilliant Gilmore Girls epiphanies.

As a confessional poet, Sexton’s writing covers similar ground to that of Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino: mother-daughter relationships, getting pregnant and un-pregnant; you know, girly stuff.

The Comedy of Errors is exactly what you’d expect: a play made funny by the errors and poor intuition of its central characters.

In Christine, a small Gollum-style man gets obsessed with a car that soon ends up supernaturally desirable.

The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman is widely recognised both as an important work of queer theatre and a melodrama so strained you could drain pasta in it.

This is such a pleasant book. Set on a farm in a quaint country town, it perfectly combined my love of Babe and Gilmore Girls and county fairs.

Catch-22’s kind of pathos overlaid with comedy made me think of Kirk from Gilmore Girls.

Carrie basically follows a kind of Mean Girls meets She’s All That narrative, except there’s a whole bunch of traumatic menstruation-based bullying, and after our protagonist goes through her miraculous prom transformation she destroys the entire town.

The Bielski Brothers is an amazing story about three Jewish brothers fighting a guerrilla war against the Nazis.
