Start Reading The Chronicles of Narnia
We’re reading the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis for the months of March and April. They are short books and we’ll be reading all seven. To keep up with content though, we’ll spread them out over these two months.
Through the Looking Glass Podcast is Up
Had a great discussion with Elizabeth better know on the interwebs as @MaskedDevera about Lewis Caroll’s second trip down the rabbit hole, Through the Looking Glass.
Start Reading – Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
Happy February! The month of looooooove is upon us! There isn’t much more that I love than Lost! And one of the first great discoveries was the discovery of the Looking Glass Station.
VALIS Podcast is Up!!
I talked with @batchout aka David and @lawscribe aka Walter about the book VALIS by Philip K. Dick. I went into the podcast a little heavy hearted, because I didn’t really ‘get’ the book, but these two guys really helped me not only grasp the book itself better, but to see the influence it had on Lost.
VALIS (1981) by Phillip K. Dick
“I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards. Okay, so I should revise my standards; I’m out of step. I should yield to reality. I have never yielded to reality. That’s what SF is all about. If you wish to yield to reality, go read Philip Roth; read the New York literary establishment mainstream bestselling writers….This is why I love SF. I love to read it; I love to write it. The SF writer sees not just possibilities but wild possibilities. It’s not just ‘What if’ – it’s ‘My God; what if’ – in frenzy and hysteria. The Martians are always coming.” — Phillip K. Dick, writer, philosopher and science fiction god.
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Podcast is Up
Jon aka @LOST_boss and I have a BIG discussion on a little short story by Ambrose Bierce titled, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. We also do some talking about next month’s book, the future books of the bookclub and we even talk a little bit about a non-LOST related book.
Poll – What did you think of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge?
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Podcast is Up
I talk with @lostiegirl78 about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. And you’ll want to listen just to hear which one of our island dwellers is named Queen of Hearts. PODCAST GOLD, I TELL YOU.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce
Happy December! This month marks our 7th month reading LOST books and I really feel that each month gets better and better! This month we’re reading a short story. We wanted to do something short as not to interfere too much with the holidays. We’re reading An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce and it is REALLY short, so expect the podcast well before the end of the month. The audio book wasn’t much over 20 minutes. I joked on the last podcast that we could play the whole audio book and discuss it in the hour window we have. There is also an episode of the Twilight Zone if you’d like to check that out as well.
