'The LOST Books' Part III

Today I give you the third and final installment of “The LOST Books,” that is books and authors that appeared or were referenced during the hit television show, LOST.
As I mentioned on Monday and Tuesday, some fans of the show have made a side hobby out of collecting and noting all of the books and authors that appeared or were referenced during the show’s six seasons. The show was so mysterious that fans often saw these books and references as clues with a hidden meaning about what was really happening and where the show was headed.On the Web site, Lostpedia, there’s an entire section devoted to the books featured on the show as well as literary references made during all six seasons. On Monday, I covered titles A-F on the list, and on Tuesday I gave you titles G-O. Today, I give you titles P-Z. Without further ado, here they are.

Before I wrap this thing I up, I should mention a short, LOST book list called the “Sawyer Book List.” In spite of his rough personality, James “Sawyer” Ford is an avid reader. Throughout the course of the show, he’s seen reading or references a number of books including “Watership Down,” “Lord of the Flies,” “A Wrinkle in Time,” “Lancelot,” “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret,” “Julius Caesar,” “Bad Twin,” “Of Mice and Men,” “The Fountainhead,” “Evil Under the Sun,” “The Invention of Morel,” and “Grimm’s Fairy Tales.”
In the end, I'd like to know how many of these books have you read. How many have you always wanted to read? How many of them have you never heard of? Let us know in the comments section below.
