What would Don Draper read?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 27 13:49:32 2015 No.6463549 It's a salient feature of that dumb show to have him read books. Some asshole probably made a list. Just google "Don Draper books" you shitheel.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 27 13:53:37 2015 No.6463560 Don Draper reads a few books, but most of them relate to his work. Other than that it's established in the show that he doesn't normally read.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 27 22:24:04 2015 No.6465266 >>6465260 >he seems conflicted with himself being a prospect of power It's because he fundamentally lacks substance, he's a mirage, it is both his talent and his flaw.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 27 22:29:18 2015 No.6465286 He reads a book by Philip Roth in one episode. It's a shitty show though, every character seems like they were written by a kid. I can't see the appeal in a program that is basically a series of awkward conversations.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 27 22:31:18 2015 No.6465293 I don't know. Only plebs watch "television" shudders

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 28 03:35:34 2015 No.6466280 >>6466183 Television has been actual film since The Sopranos. We're in a golden age for TV, and American cinema is in its worst state since the 80s. Fortunately, there are still good films being made in Europe and Asia.
