Her life is so extraordinary, but the way she writes about it is without any hubris. It's refreshing. At the same time she takes tragedy and hasn't let it make her a martyr. After reading it I wanted to go back and read her other books I haven't read yet and reread the ones I have. Her memoir on writing is really just amazing.

So if you want to be Rory then lets make it so. My wife and I just started a literary community called <a href="http://CurlingUp.com" rel="nofollow">CurlingUp.com</a> which allows members to create online book clubs/discussions as well as post book reviews and news. Come by and create a Gilmore Girls book club. It is such a fun idea I am sure you could get people to jump in and participate. And yes...you can be Rory. Ok.

This one was wonderful (except for the haunting chapter about their roommate who was murdered - that image has stayed with me for two years now). You're right. It's always so surprising to realize that authors of her calibur don't spend their days receiving gifts and signing autographs as they dash off page upon page of world-altering prose :) And you are plenty cool...Amy Tan would be thrilled to have you as a friend (especially now that the GG's have been cancelled...we all need to pull closer to bridge the gap they'll leave behind!)
