GOOD READS FOR 'LOSTIES'

GET LOST THIS SUMMER WITH THESE BOOKS

Just because you're not a teenager anymore doesn't mean you don't need a summer reading list. The producers of "Lost" have just issued the definitive "Lost" syllabus on ABC.com. It's a formidable lineup, ranging from classic literature (Dostoevsky and Steinbeck) to pulp (Tom Clancy and Philip K. Dick).

Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" is here because the nefarious Ben used wheelman Dean Moriarty's name as an alias in one episode. The Dickens masterpiece "A Tale of Two Cities" is included because it was also the title of the series' third season opener. But some of the links are pretty tenuous. A surprising number of entries were merely seen on a bookshelf in a bunker or a bungalow on the island. Blink and you missed them.
