I used to listen to a Lost podcast, and the podcasters would freeze-frame the episode whenever there was a book on screen, and then read it and give commentary on how it related to the show (purgatory, subterranean worlds, mysterious islands, biblical themes). Always interesting, but I left the research task to the super-fans. But a lot of the books on this list sound really good, and it makes me wish I could read really fast and also had an English library at my disposal.

The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares (1940)

The Moon Pool by Abraham Merritt (1919)

“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce (1890)

Lancelot: A Novel by Walker Percy (1977)

The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne (1874)

Island by Aldous Huxley (1962)

Valis by Philip K. Dick (1981)
