I didn’t write this list, nor have I read all these books, but I like Mad Men and now I want to read all these books, and that’s what counts.
If you want to read the list at the original site (with pictures!), the address is here. I also suggest going to the site because it has a graphic of books read by charactes throughout the series, which is pretty awesome.
But here’s the short list:
01. Bert Cooper: Atlas Shrugged – Ayn Rand
02. Betty Draper: The Group – Mary McCarthy
03. Lane Pryce: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – Mark Twain
04. Joan Harris: Lady Chatterly’s Lover – D.H. Lawrence
05. Sally Draper: The Black Cauldron – Lloyd Alexander
06. Sally Draper: Rosemary’s Baby – Ira Levin
07. Don Draper: The Spy Who Came In From The Cold – John LeCarre
08. Don Draper: The Fixer – Bernard Malmud
09. Henry Francis: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn – Mark Twain
10. Pete Campbell: The Crying of Lot 49 – Thomas Pynchon
11. Roger Sterling: Confessions of an Advertising Man – David Ogilvy
