LOST LIBRARY: The Master List

The Lost Library - The Master List

Here is the complete list of the Lost Library (as I've found it). There are a few places I've found that list books from the show (lostpedia, lost hatch, etc.), but none I've found to be complete, so I just compile the list on my own.

There are basically three categories I put the books into; the first being those that actually appear onscreen (i.e. Sawyer's reading it on the beach), the second being those which are just referenced or otherwise implied (i.e. the title of the episode, a character’s name, or a Sawyerism reference), and the third being books that have actually been written about Lost.

I'll try to keep this list current as new books are discovered, so check back regularly!
