The LOST Books, Part Two

Today I give you Part Two of “The LOST Books,” that is books and authors that appeared or were referenced during the hit television show, LOST.
As I mentioned yesterday, 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. Yesterday, I covered titles A-F on the list, and today I give you titles G-O. Without further ado, here they are.
