Ok I‘ve been wanting to do something and I‘m wondering if anyone else wants to join me! Mad Men is hands down my favorite show. I‘ve watched it all the way through at least 10 times now. I‘ve always wanted to read all the books that are featured on the show. This list contains 25 books and I‘ll go into detail about each episode the books are featured in. We could take our sweet time and stretch this out over a few years, I‘m in no hurry. Anyone ⬇️

Butterfinger Sure - Except for Crying of Lot 49 - I read it early last year (pre Covid) and it went over my head. Maybe if I read it with someone else, I will get something from it. I haven't watched the series, but keeping meaning too. 4y

Taking a #readathon break to start rewatching this series from the beginning! I'm going to follow along with the great Matt Zoller Seitz' book on the series this time - chapter by chapter, episode by episode.

Been thinking about doing a Mad Men rewatch for a while...I always get that urge during summer...and I've been meaning to follow along with this book (it has poems!) for a while as well. So many distractions, so little time!

Imagineannie Oooooh. We're watching for the first time, right now. Just into Season Two. May need this book. 9y
brendanmleonard @Imagineannie it's designed so you can follow along if you're watching for the first time, or if you know what's coming. There's also a really helpful timeline in the back! 9y
Imagineannie Sold! We're pretty obsessed. 9y
