Reading list for LOST fans

Fan of J.J. Abrams and his Star Trek movies, maybe also his hit TV series about parallel universes, Fringe?

Or what about LOST?

For me, the man is a genius, for his work is cross-genre, part science fiction, part philosophy, part spiritual. Often, his stories offer no answers, merely more questions. In my first two novels, Borderliners and Split Symmetry, I touch on many similar themes: dreams and reality, science v religion, destiny, metaphysics, themes to be found in much of J.J. Abram’s work.

So…for those of you who enjoy the SF/metaphysical nature of his work, I recently discovered a reading list which I would gladly work through. I’ve modified it a bit and added a few titles of my own. Enjoy!

Here’s the original list.
