I am writing this post expecting not to write for a while. Hope you continue reading the blog - who knows when I will get to read another book! Meanwhile, do send me suggestions on what to read next!
In the Hobbit, the Sofa and Digger Stiles, Rory is apparently seen reading the Atonement. (I have not been able to confirm this, so readers, please let me know the details of the scene if you happen see the episode). Atonement is one of my all time favourite novels, and it just so happened that it was lying around on my shelf when I ran out of books to read.
A Booker prize winner, a beautifully-turned-into movie and Ian McEwan's most successful to date, I have seen this book on most of my fellow readers' bookshelves. Shelfari itself has more than 1000 reviews and 17,000 readers, making it one of the most discussed books on the internet. So I guess it means I need not discuss it much - except in the context of Gilmore Girls.
Atonement is one of the newest books read/mentioned on Gilmore Girls, with the book being released in 2001 and the episode in 2003. It achieved almost immediate cult status, and Rory definitely looks like someone who would pick up a book like this, with its intense drama, complex
personalities and historic setting. It is one of the few World War-era novels in Rory's collection and the lead character of Briony is so "confused" yet talented that Rory probably couldn't help but connect with the character.
I definitely recommend anyone who hasn't read the book yet to pick it up, for its believable seriousness, and also catch the movie right after. It is probably one of the few instances where a movie does justice to the beauty of the book (the Twilight series a case in point!).
