Scroll down or click for my thoughts on last night’s episode of LOST. I’m joining Amy’s LOST Books Challenge in which “(p)articipants are asked to choose at least five books off the list of books alluded to or mentioned on the show to complete by the time the series concludes in 2010. If participants did not complete the first challenge, they can use those same books again. Find books here, here, or here.”
My books (subject to change):
Island by Aldous Huxley.
On Writing by Stephen King.
The Third Policeman by Flann O’Brien.
The Stone Leopard by Colin Forbes.
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I’ve never read this (cult?) classic, and I figure I ought to?
I’ve chosen five, and I may choose more. I may start some of the above selections and not be able to finish. I’ve done a lot of that for some reason this month. Anyway, I’m looking forward to reading some of these and correlating them to LOST as the season progresses. If you’ve already read any of the books I’ve chosen, tell me what you thought.
Hmm, I’d like to see what you think of Huxley’s Island. I’ve been working on it for over a month and I’m about ready to throw it out the window. 🙂
Interesting list – both yours and the complete list from the show. I like the idea of the LOST Reading Project, but I’ve only seen a few episodes of the show. Hopefully I’ll get to watch it on DVD (my mom got the first 4 seasons for Christmas) and get somewhat caught up.
I looked over the list of referenced works. Would it be safe to assume the list will grow over the next two seasons? As it is, I’ve read 35 of the 69 books on the list. I wouldn’t mind trying to read at least 5 of the ones I haven’t read, but I’ll have to check out the library book sale for available books.
Loved On Writing by Stephen King. Very, very good. Hope you enjoy….look forward to your review. B.
Darn it! I really had promised myself to stay completely away from reading challenges this year… but LOST??? Oh, man.
