Are you a fan of AMC's hit series, Mad Men? A manager of the Battery Park City branch of the NY Public Library sure is and has created a reading list of books either talked about or seen on this popular show.

His current list includes:

Meditations in an Emergency by Frank O'Hara
The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe
Confessions of an Advertising Man (of course) by David Ogilvy
Babylon Revisited and Other Stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Chrysanthemum and the Sword by Ruth Benedict
Exodus by Leon Uris
Ship of Fools by Katherine Ann Porter
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The Agony and the Ecstasy - Irving Stone
The Group by Mary McCarthy
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon

So, do as Billy Parrott of the NYPL suggests, pour yourself a big glass of Scotch and enjoy one of these oldies-but-goodies that you can get from the RVC library.
