ONTD Original: 5 Great Book Moments in Television History
(in no particular order)
Lucy, letting the murder mystery she's reading get to her head, begins to suspect Ricky is trying to kill her
Lucy becomes so engrossed in the murder mystery she's reading that imagination starts getting away from her. Convinced Ricky is plotting her murder, she arms herself with metal kitchenware in the hopes it will protect her from a bullet.
Rory's Bus Books
Many a bookworm can attest to having a location designated for the books they're currently reading. In the past, I've had a Living Room Book, a Night Stand Book, and a Lunch Book. Rory Gilmore takes it a step further by having MULTIPLE Bus Books because she doesn't know what she'll be in the mood to read.
Joey puts The Shining (and Little Women) in the freezer
Remember when Joey Tribbiani wasn't a complete cartoon of a character? He was a little doofy but still well-rounded enough to be a reader of horror and even willing to give a children's classic a shot. He even grew attached enough to the March sisters to want to put the book in the freezer when Beth got really, really sick.
Dustin needs his paddles
(I apologize for the quality of the video; this was all I could find.)
Dustin needs to check out some books from the Hawkins pubic library but unfortunately, he's already maxed out on the 5 book limit (a ridiculousy low limit, I might add). Dustin claims he's on a "curiosity voyage" and the books are his paddles. The librarian is not buying his bs so he just straight up steals the books, screaming "I need my paddles!" on the way out.
Lucy misses a book Ricky tosses her and receives a black eye.
In the Black Eye, Lucy picks up a book Ricky was previously reading and gets so immersed that she's not wiling to give it back. They compromise and decide to read it together until it's time for the Mertzes to come over. Ricky tosses Lucy the book to put away and hits her square in the eye. This episode, which aired in 1953, can be very cringe worthy for a 2018 audience for its flippant treatment of domestic violence. But it is fairly charming seeing a husband and wife read an engrossing book to each other.
