I know there are tons of LOST book clubs out there, but myself and my friend Tony B. are starting our own.
I scanned 6 different lists and came up with 52 so far. LOSTpedia has 91, but some are on there because of an allusion. For example, Dicken's A Christmas Carol made their list because
Sawyer describes himself as "The Ghost of Christmas Future" while banging on the door of The Swan ("Because You Left"), and The Man in Black as "The Ghost of Christmas Past" ("The Substitute").
So I don't think those count, but anywhere the book actually appears in an episode, it'll go on the list. The first book we're going to start with will be Richard Adams' Watership Down. We're going to set up a forum where we can have discourse about the book, and I'll drop a link with my final composited list in a later post. I hope it goes well! If this first book is a success, we'll do another. I'd love to tackle the entire LOST book list, but I think I need a motivator, so I'm hoping Mr. B. and I can push each other to just keep reading.
Wish us luck!
