Books that appeared on Lost that I want to read

If you don't know, the writers on Lost often find a way to work books onto the show. The books usually have something to do with the direct storyline of that episode, or of the series as a whole. ABC recently put up a site called The Lost Book Club, which features many of the books and when they appeared.

Here are the books I want to read:
1. The Island by Aldous Huxley
- Appeared in The Pilot

In Island, Huxley gives us his vision of Utopia.

2. Walden Two by BF Skinner

Five observations about what make a bad Monday morning:

1. Going to work at a place in which your paycheck barely covers the cost of your bills.
2. Walking into a classroom with 30 obnoxious students who are way too excited to be in class.
3. Having your office occupied by a woman who smells old and moves all of the owner's things without putting it back.
4. Having a major inferiority complex because you just turned 31, live at home with mom and don't have enough money to buy a house.
5. Knowing that Mondays are crap food days upstairs and not having enough time to make lunch in the morning.
