Todays Book is Book #3 out of 20 in the Gilmore Girl Challenge , and what Ive decided from now on to do with my challenges is to add alongside a quote from the theme of the challenge and since this is part of Gilmore Girls - Here's another quote for you.

[Luke has hired a new waiter]

Rory: Oh, my god.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: He hired Brennon Lewis.
Lorelai: And?
Rory: Ew!
Lorelai: He doesn't look that bad.
Rory: He's the boy who dissected a frog, did not wash his hands, and then ate a sandwich.
Lorelai: Ew!
Rory: He's like the lost Farrelly brother. He's so stupid. He watched 'The Breakfast Club' and decided to tape his own butt cheeks together
