The Rory Gilmore Reading List

I confess, I'm a Gilmore Girls fan. It's been ages since I've watched any, but I was pleased to see the official Rory Gilmore Reading List on bust.com today. Anyone else feeling really nerdy and actually want to read all of these? I counted through and I've read 31 of the list. Not so bad, right?

And speaking of the beloved GG, I wonder if Ian minds if I slightly adjust our Netflix queue... and by slightly, I mean I really want to watch the whole series again. Now.
