Update: Click here for the new Lost Book Club index page. I am no longer updating this page.
Last May, I started writing about the books that appear on ABC’s Lost.
Here’s a list of what I’ve read with links to the posts about the books:

- Watership Down (Adams)
- The Third Policeman (O’Brien)
- Alice in Wonderland (Carroll)
- The Epic of Gilgamesh
- To Kill a Mockingbird (Lee)
- A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens)
- The Brothers Karamazov (Dostoevsky)
- A Brief History of Time (Hawking)
- Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck)
- Stranger in a Strange Land (Heinlein)

Hi, I am just starting a little Lost book club myself. My husband and I are reading them. I found a nice list on Lostpedia and also found some others not on the list through other info. JJ Abrahms admits in an interview that The Stand is a huge influence on the Lost series. It has not been alluded to or read in the show, but I thought you might be interested to know about that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the books.
I’d started with the wikipedia list before I’d heard of Lostpedia, so I know this isn’t comprehensive, but it’s close enough. I think you’re right about The Stand, though. I should probably add it.
You missed “Morel´s Invention” a book by Adolfo Bioy Casares readed by Sawyer on the 4th chapter.
