Best books to read if my favourite show is Mad Men? I've heard John Cheever and Revolutionary Road are influences on Matthew Weiner and the rest of the writers, but I'm not necessarily looking for Mad Men-esque stories set in the same period. I'm more looking for stuff that is primarily character-driven instead of plot-driven, that deals with a range of themes including (but not limited to) existentialism, declining youth, alcoholism, etc.

Not looking for fedoracore in terms of pseudointellectualism, but stuff that provides the same level (or higher level) emotional response that Mad Men did.

Easiest recommendation would probably be anything by Hemingway. A very good place to start with Serious Literature as well. I loved his stories in high school.

If that graph continued into the 160s, [s4s] would be the final bar.

Upon several months observation of /lit/ it is abundantly apparent that it is no different than any other board, same shit bigger words. Hell even /pol/ used actual FBI data once.
Would like to see actual data collection methods and questions / arguments firsthand.
