I'm convinced Rory can not even read.

Nothing to do with Jack of course, but this list is nutty. As an avid Gilmore Girls fans, I can attest that it is very inaccurate if it's supposed to be a list of the books we see Rory reading or are told that she has read. A lot of the books on here are actually referenced by other characters (many in scenes that did not include Rory at all) and a lot of the references to these books were explicitly about the film adaptations, not the books. Also a lot of the books she reads and has full conversations about are not even on the list somehow. Just a heads up for anyone who'd like to attempt a Rory Gilmore reading challenge - I'd search for a more accurate list.

Jack I just wanted to drop in and tell you just how much you’ve influenced my reading taste over the past couple of months. In early 2020, I found myself drifting away from my long-time interest in YA dystopia/fantasy. I’d read countless series including HP, Divergent, the hunger games, the maze runner, etc, along with stand alone books in the series, prequels whatnot. But I simply couldn’t bring myself to read something else from that genre anymore, which was very frustrating. And then I found you! You helped me discover a brand new genre and allowed me to fall in love with so many books. Just this month, because of your recommendations, I bought convenience store woman and before the coffee gets cold. Honestly, I’m hooked now! My copies of tales from the cafe and Hamnet just arrived, and I’m looking forward to getting more books that you’ve recommended! You helped me get out of my reading slump and I love you for that, thank you soooo much! All the love!

Okay I commented this to your last video, and I'm soo happy you finally made a video on this! ahhhh!!

Yay I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

the fact that I started the Rory Gilmore Challenge for myself just yesterday, coincidence? can‘t be :)

Perfect timing, my laptop just died when i was about to start work so i shall watch this instead while it charges ahah, also already know this will be great so thankyouu!

Omg I’ve been so excited for this video !!😂

IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE… TURN IT UP

Oryx and Crake is so good! It's that speculative foreign dystopia genre that I love but don't have a name for.

This is excellent! As a Gilmore fan, I'd suggest you try the Jess Mariano Reading Challenge as well, he's such a rich character and his taste is I immaculate. You hit my niche with this video hahaha ❤️ I love your content, Jack! Cheers!

This is the kind of video I was waiting on 😂😍😍

Literally have only read 10. Lmfao. If this was a “books I own that I plan to read soon” this would be x100000000 higher.

Omg yusss, you're gonna read the Count of Monte Cristo!! I've started reading it too and it'd be awesome to see you do a video about it!!

been waiting for this!

The timing! God bless ya, Jack!

I’ve always thought it be cool to do the Rory reading challenge till I actually read the never ending list of books featured. Maybe I’ll just pick one (or a few) outside of the classics.

Can’t believe I get this notification in the middle of binging Gilmore Girls for the 100th time 😁

I ve always LOVED your videos Yet this particular one made me turn on the notifications ♥️

I LOVE FIRST 5 SEASONS RORY ..AND I LOVE THIS CHANNEL....This is a thing I never knew I needed!!!

If anyone somehow doesn’t believe Jack when he said that John Thorpe is the worst character (personality wise) ever written OH BOY let me just tell you I had to take a break from Northanger Abbey because how annoying John Thorpe is. Usually it takes me 3-5 days to read an Austen book

Northanger Abbey is a parody of gothic novels. All the characters are tropes. I didn't like it that much until I knew to read it tongue-in-cheek, but then it's hilariously genius.

Oh, you simply MUST read The Outsiders! It’s about a group of underprivileged boys and their dealings with the rich kids in their town. It’s all about the Other, about class distinction and privilege and family and realizing the “others” are as human as everyone else. FANTASTIC book, my absolute favorite.

I thought it was so weird to call a boy ‘ponyboy’ but idk it may just be me

Will you ever do a video about your fave books of all time? I'm so curious cause you have such a great taste in stories

I’m so damn excited for this!! Been waiting for it for so long >~

I’d love to see you do this with Jess Mariano

Jack: “So far I’ve only read 53” Me: (giggles) I’ve read *none* And here i thought I’m a passionate bookworm but i guess not :( - never mind i read diary of a wimpy kid
