The next two pages reference the books seen and referred to on LOST.
While I have many of the books listed (most specifically purchased
because of the LOST-reference), I thought I'd devote this
post to the books in my collection about LOST.
Some of the books deal with themes of faith and religion.
Others are guides by my favorite recappers.
Some of the books provide insight, some postulate theories -
mostly proven wrong now that the series has yielded
answers to many (but not all) of our questions.
All of the books have something to offer,
even if only a perspective different from my own
There were three serialized novels released after Season 1:
They were all pretty awful. But shame on me because I bought them
and read them all. Another novel written specifically with a
LOST tie-in was Bad Twin.
It was "written" by Oceanic 815 passenger Gary Troup.
My most recent LOST book purchase was by digital download,
written by one of my favorite LOST recappers, Pearson Moore:
LOST Humanity: The Mythology and Themes of LOST
The rest of the books about LOST in my collection are listed below.
They are listed in no particular order, except the order I
pulled them from the shelf.

It is an epic compilation!
Just a little postscript...I adored/never missed
Jeff "Doc" Jensen's LOST posts and recaps at EW.com
I printed each and every one of them, giggling
all the while over some of his LOST Theories.
They were always entertaining and often
visited ideas I had quietly posed to myself.
The pages currently fill 3 large binders
and I would be thrilled to see the essays
published in a book. I need the space.
