LOST Book List Pt. 1 - Sawyer's List

These are the books Sawyer is seen reading throughout the TV show Lost's 6 season run.

There are too many books depicted on Lost to be able to list them all in one list. I have split the lists up into 4 easy to find groups.

  • A very telling book when applied to Lost. Sawyer is seen with it on several occasions, and he refers to it as a cute story "about bunnies." Boone accuses him of stealing it. The story is an allegory about rabbits trying to survive many…

  • This book appears a number of times, with both Ben and Sawyer quoting from it in "Every Man for Himself." Sawyer tells the Man in Black that it is his favorite book. A dark look into the inner mind of Sawyer, indeed.
