The Lost Community Book Club - WATERSHIP DOWN



Welcome to "The Lost Community Book Club". During the hiatus, thelostcommunity.com will be transformed into a virtual book club where visitors will have the opportunity to discuss several novels and the many diverse ways each of them informs the story and themes woven throughout the televison show Lost. Each month we'll feature a different book and, while everyone is encouraged to read the full text, anyone who knows how to use wikipedia, lostpedia, or Cliff's Notes is invited to join in the discussions found in the comments thread!

Our book club is kicking off this month with Watership Down by Richard Adams. A summary of the story and some of its connections to the show can be viewed on this lostpedia entry.

With the help of several members of this online community, we have put together a plan for the rest of the summer so you plan accordingly. Click here to find all these books in one place at discount prices on melissa_lossa's Amazon.com listmania list. You can expect a new post on this website each month featuring a different book. Discussions will begin on the last Wednesday of each month.
