Join the ABC Lost Bookclub
abc.com have started up a book club, where they have listed all of the books which have featured on the show since the very beginning. Some of the books have been read by Sawyer and others have been more subtle background references, but each of them are part of the popular cultural plug that has helped inspire and shape Lost to some degree.
The creators Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse also have this message for the fans:
Dear LOST Reader,
Welcome to the Lost Book Club.
Over the first four seasons of LOST we’ve managed to incorporate more than 40 books into the show. For the first time, we’ve catalogued a list of books available in audio form that relate in some way to LOST. Some are being read by our characters, such as Sawyer, or are just sitting on shelves in episodes of the show; others connect with various themes of the series.
We hope you’ll join our informal Lost Book Club. To paraphrase one of our heroes, Stephen King, to be a writer one must first be a reader. We find ourselves constantly striving for even a small measure of the accomplishment of what all these authors have achieved in their books. Pick up any of them and experience the richness of storytelling, character, and theme, and then allow your imagination to connect all that back into our show.
We can’t promise you any of these books will lead you to answers about LOST, but we can promise you’ll be enriched for having read them.
Enjoy! And fall through the rabbit hole with us!
All our best,
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse
I can’t promise that I’ll read all of these books before LOST is finished, but the next book on my Lost-reading list is A Brief History of Time.
