January 1 - December 31, 2011
Unruly Reader is hosting the Reading Madly Challenge. She writes:
If you’re a Mad Men person, this reading challenge is for you! The challenge: Read books related to Mad Men. And when I say “related,” the relationship can be tangential… You get to choose.
Think:
- books read by characters on the show
- books published in the late 1950s and early/mid-1960s
- books about the early/mid-1960s: JFK, LBJ, feminism, race relations, space race, Cold War, Vietnam War
- books about advertising
Anything that you can tie in to Mad Men qualifies. If you can justify it to yourself, you’re all set.
Levels of Participation:
- TV AD: Read 7 books—at least 2 fiction and 2 nonfiction.
- FULL-PAGE AD: Read 5 books—at least 2 fiction and 2 nonfiction.
- HALF-PAGE AD: Read 3 books—at least 1 fiction and 1 nonfiction.
Rules:
- Participants may join anytime before December 31, 2011.
- Re-reads, audiobooks, and overlaps with other challenges are fine.
- No need to list your books beforehand, and no need to write reviews.
