What Rory Gilmore Would Be Reading Today

I often wonder what books Rory would be reading as a character in today's world, either still as a teenager or as a grown adult. What I've drawn from the infamous list is that she gravitates towards both trendy and acclaimed fiction, as well as journalistic exposés and non-fiction about random history. I also tried to include some modern classics, in order to make up for the lack of the fixed canon of the original list. You might disagree with some of these picks -- I myself am also on the fence about some of them, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
