Okay, I am writing a fic right now and I need a little help. Don't laugh at me because it's not nice. Heh.
I am going to have a scene where Rory and Jess start talking about books (how original...heh) and I just need a few titles that they could talk about and maybe a little bit about what the book it about. I have not read any of the books that they discuss on the show so I need some help.
So if you have any titles or their opinions on a few books I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.
;D

I could give you some authors. Ernest Hemingway, Aryn Rand (sp?). I'll think of a few others for you.

Umm.. I'll put my two cents in. Keep in mind, it's been a while since I;ve read these books.
Oh and Ayn Rand doesn't have an 'r', I'm looking at the cover right now.
But anyway, Ernest Hemmingway's A Farewell to Arms is about a British nurse, Catherine and an American leutenant in the Italian army... I forgot his name, which is just terrible. Anyway, I won't go to indept, but basically, they fall in love, and then she has their son, stillborn, before they are technically married, and dies. The End. Saddest book ever.
The Bell Jar is basically a prelude of what was to come in Sylvia Plath's real life. In real life, the author of the book, Slyvia Plath killed herself by sticking her head in the oven, in the book, the woman goes crazy as well.
And I'm sure you've read the more American classics like Franny and Zooey and Catcher in the Rye and Oliver Twist, so no need to explain those books for you.
And I'll agree with Jess, Ayn Rand's The Foutainhead was an over analytical piece of crap. It's not really based on any root of religion, but there's way too much talk of God and morality to make it a good book. You can find it in the Religious section. Hmm.. Maybe I hate it because I'm an atheist. Whatever, it sucked. lol.

Thanks so much! I asked this question awhile ago but the actual scene involving the books is coming up in my fic soon. I'm horrible at writing book discussions but I've changed the scene enough so I really just need titles of books. I probably won't even have to go into discussion.
