Updated-January 26,2010 I have done a horrible job of blogging about each book I've read, but since Lost is only a week away I thought I would tell you guys all the Lost books I've read since August. If you scroll down you will see my list of Lost books referenced through season 5 and I've marked which ones I've read.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to read every book that has been referenced in Lost. I found one list of books on the ABC website called the Lost Book Club and I also looked on Lostpedia and found books not listed on ABC. I have always enjoyed reading but I have found my love for reading again through my job. I work as a Hospice Aide on the shift and I discovered that the one thing besides caffeine that keeps me awake and alert is a good book. The more books I read the more I discovered that good books are hard to come by and take too long to read. I took me two months to read a book called Firefly Lane but I wanted to finish it but it was torture. It was altogether one of the most lame books I've ever read and just had to end with someone dying of cancer.
So, what better place to look for good books that to read the books referenced in my favorite show Lost!

Hey, Lori! When/how are these books mentioned? Other than the book group among The Others, I cannot recall a mention of a book -- and I've never seen the titles of the ones Sawyer reads on the beach. Can you give me an example? Now I'm really curious!
