A TV character after my own heart
I don’t know if I’ve ever related to a TV character as much as Rory Gilmore.
While “Gilmore Girls” premiered on the now-defunct WB earlier this decade, I didn’t begin watching it until after I visited the Warner Bros. studios — the place where the show was filmed — last summer.
Not only is Rory smart and cares about her grades, but she also keeps a book with her nearly everywhere she goes.
I can relate.
I have been known to bring books on car rides around town, to the dentist office (or so my mom claims), to the hairdresser’s — basically anywhere where I knew I’d have a few moments to spare to crack it open.
While I’m not so bad now (or so I think), I try to steal whatever moments I can at home to read. Waiting on someone before heading out somewhere? I can squeeze in a page or two. TV show on a commercial break? I can get in another few pages.
So, with my love for reading, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a character on TV who shared my passion.
