    Television with Taste | As you could probably guess, there are a lot of “Mad Men” fans here at FSG. Think about it: what other show on television features so many characters reading books? Or penning an autobiography, as Roger Sterling does, out of spite for a competitor’s success? So with the new season starting on March 25th I thought I’d share the official “Mad Men” Reading List. Each of these titles has appeared or been referenced on the show: Season 1 Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe Exodus by Leon Uris Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence Season 2 The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone Meditations in an Emergency by Frank O’Hara Moby-Dick by Herman Melville Ship of Fools by Katherine Anne Porter The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner Season 3 Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy The Group by Mary McCarthy The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon Season 4 The Chrysanthemum and the Sword by Ruth Benedict The Clue of the Black Keys by Carolyn Keene The Spy Who Came in From the Cold by John le Carré via fsgbooks
