Lost: Making the Reading List

Seth Stevenson:

Lost throws so many book covers up on-screen…that they almost serve as a bibliography, signaling the series' broad themes and interests. The stream of author shout-outs also seems like a quick and painless way for a TV show to advertise its literary gravitas. Lost is like that guy who purposely leaves his copy of Beloved out on the coffee table for when he brings home a date.

Gotta love that last line.

Go ahead: name the books you’ve read or plan to read because you wanted to know why they tied in to the Lost story.
