O desafio literário de Rory Gilmore
Autor: Leitora | Publicado: 2014-12-13T16:19:00-08:00







Em uma visita à Harvard, local onde ela almejava estudar desde muito 
criança, &nbsp;Rory ficou perturbada ao descobrir que em uma biblioteca da 
universidade havia 3 milhões de exemplares. Fez uma cara de enjoada, e 
começou a passar mal. 3 milhões? Nem nem duas vidas ela conseguiria ler 
tanto.



RORY: Eu sou estúpida.

LORELAI: Oh, pare.

RORY: Eu sou&nbsp;desinformada&nbsp;e ignorante e. . . Eu não posso nem pensar 
em um segundo sinônimo para desinformado. Eu sou uma lástima.

LORELAI: Querida.

RORY: Treze milhões de volumes? Eu li tipo, o que, trezentos livros 
em toda a minha vida e eu já tenho dezesseis anos? Sabe quanto tempo eu 
levaria para ler treze milhões de livros?

LORELAI: Mas querida, você não tem que ler cada um deles. “Terça com 
Morrie?” Passe isso. “Quem Mexeu no Meu Queijo?” Apenas coisas que você 
já sabe.

RORY: Ok, mas cada adolescente que vem a Harvard é, inevitavelmente, 
um leitor de livros e diferentes livros, e eu quero ser capaz de 
conversar de forma inteligente com cada um deles e eu não posso fazer 
isso se eu não ler livros, pelo menos um pouco de cada gênero e 
sub-gênero.

LORELAI: Ok, vamos lá. Eu vou te tirar daqui.

RORY: Eu durmo muito.

LORELAI: Não, você não dorme muito.

RORY: Eu estive desperdiçando minha vida inteira.

LORELAI: Você não frito.

RORY: Eu mencionei que eu sou uma lástima?

LORELAI: Sim.

RORY: Bem, eu sou.

LORELAI: Não.&nbsp;



Essa cena de A Trip to Harvard, episódio 2 da segunda temporada de Gilmore Girls,
 até hoje me incomoda. Mas não de um jeito ruim. Me toca. Não quero ser 
uma pessoa desinformada e ignorante.&nbsp;



Quem nunca quis ler Anna Karenina 
achando que Tolstoy seria uma fácil leitura? Citar Henry James, Mark 
Twain, Nikolai Gogol, Shakespeare… foram tantos, tantos autores e livros
 que deixaria qualquer um tonto só de lembrar.



Na série, Rory leu ou citou mais de 300 obras. Nós listamos esses 
livros, e se você aceitar o desafio, que tal começar a lê-los agora 
mesmo?! &nbsp;Apesar dos&nbsp;títulos estarem em inglês, a maioria deles possui 
versões em português, e alguns muitos você poderá baixar no Open Library (de graça e dentro da lei).
