LOST Books Challenge is on Twitter!

So I'm getting really sad about the end of the epic adventure of LOST. I think I'll be blogging all sorts of LOST goodies starting pretty hard core when my season 5 DVDs come. I decided to put the LOST Books Challenge on Twitter! You can follow us at @LOSTreading

Are you a participant in the LOST books challenge and are you on Twitter? Leave your twitter name in comments and I'll make a list of all participants on twitter!

LOST Season 6 Coming Soon!

I don't know about you but I'm both eagerly anticipating the start of LOST and dreading the beginning of the end. I don't know if I'll ever love another show as much as I love this one.

In any case, ABC has released the first promo...and it pretty much doesn't say a thing. Not even an official start date! But at least we know it's on their minds...and they want it to be on ours!

LOST: Is Juliet alive?

Who knows?! But she WILL be in the final season - whether it be as a flashback or as a "live" character is still up in the air. Check out the whole article here.

LOST and Flash Forward?

There's been lots of chatter that the show Flash Forward is "the new Lost". Are any of you watching Flash Forward? Care to comment on that comparison?

Here are a few things I've come across lately:

• SciFiWire has a hilarious chart that compares the two shows - click on the chart to enlarge it so you can read the details
• Was there a spoiler for the upcoming final season of LOST on the premier episode of Flash Forward? Check it out here.

I have to admit that I am NOT watching FF, nor do I plan to.* But I would love to know if anyone IS watching!


* Of course, I said that about LOST when it first started ...

Win a Book from the list of LOST Books!

In celebration of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, we here at the LOST Books challenge would like to give away a book that was read on the show LOST. Sadly this does not mean an actual on screen prop, just a brand new copy of a book seen on the show. LOST is a show that celebrates literary love through frequent allusions to books and authors through character names, episode titles, dialogue, and actualy book on screen.

Here are your choices:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Carrie by Stephen King
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Everything that Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
Watership Down by Richard Adams
(there are more books featured on LOST but these are the ones you get to choose from for this giveaway)

Please leave us a comment and answer the following questions:
1) Which book you want from the list
2) If you watch LOST, tell us how you want LOST to end!
3) If you don't watch LOST try to justify why you don't watch the best show ever! :)

And please, join in our challenge if you can!

Thanks! Open worldwide! Ends Sunday September 18th, odds of winning depend on number of entrants, no purchase necessary.

LOST props on display (and auction!)

I just read this at SciFiWire:

Profiles in History will offer fans of ABC's Lost a special preview of their summer 2010 auction with a display of authentic props, costumes and set pieces at Disney's D23 fan convention, Sept. 10-13 at the Anaheim Convention Center; props include Kate's toy plane, Hurley's winning lottery ticket, Locke's hunting knife and Sawyer's letter.

Anyone in the Southern California area going to the Disney convention?

LOST characters as superheroes?

I you don't already read Erika Olsen's blog Long Live Locke, you certainly should add it right now. She posted on Facebook today about this great guest post at Pop Candy that compares our favorite LOST characters to superheroes. Do you agree with the matches? Are there any you'd change or add?

I had lots of fun checking out the comparisons - hope you do as well!
