So my husband had the family watch the episodes from the web connected by &amp;quot;magic&amp;quot; to the TV until we were caught up. Now we&amp;#39;re crazy addicted. I haven&amp;#39;t taken book suggestions from Sawyer yet, but am interested in investigating further the LOST book list where every book mentioned, seen, or referenced on the show is listed.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21301089/7681652079449188572/comments/default/7293312842489638643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21301089/7681652079449188572/comments/default/7293312842489638643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.motherreader.com/2010/01/bloggiesta-personal-update.html?showComment=1263182264870#c7293312842489638643' title=''/><author><name>MotherReader</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15154034613562499114'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.motherreader.com/2010/01/bloggiesta-personal-update.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-7681652079449188572' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21301089/posts/default/7681652079449188572' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-7897930855218234954</id><published>2010-01-10T22:05:38.654-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T22:05:38.654-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ooh, you're a LOST fan?

This will really help.
