Which Mad Man Are You?

Join me in the Bookin' It with Mad Men reading group on Shelfari. It's for book-loving fans of the TV show Mad Men. The group features books that have appeared in Mad Men episodes, books about the show itself, and Mad Men-era reads.

Bookin' It with Mad Men: Season One Books

Below is the season one list for the Bookin' It with Mad Men reading group on Shelfari. The list below is compiled from my observations and comparisons to The Definitive ‘Mad Men’ Reading List by Judy Berman (Flavorwire) and the Mad Men Reading List by Billy Parrott (Mid-Manhattan Library).

If I've I missed a book, please let me know.
