It's OK to love reading. In fact, educators and plebeians alike always encourage each other to nurture a love for gulping down books ever since they could comprehend the ABCs.

I've been saying all along that one of the reasons that Lost is so great is that it inspires discussion and thinking and reading. I've always loved all the literary references built into Lost.

However, very often sales of these books often spike after the book is shown on the episode as readers look for
