Current Book: Under the Net by Iris Murdoch

I’m taking a break from writing about Under the Net because today is May 23, 2010. In other words, it’s LOST Day. I started watching LOST about halfway through the first season, partially because my family said it was good, and partially because my favorite TV show at the time was ALIAS, also created by JJ Abrams. I was instantly hooked and caught myself up through the first half of the season.

Second and third season I would occasionally watch at huge lost viewing parties that my friends put on back in Michigan. I remember watching the last episode of season two with them and how we all freaked out when we saw that giant, four-toed foot. I still want to know why the foot has four toes, and they’d better explain that tonight!

Fourth and fifth season I watched on ABC.com and Hulu, as those were my years without a television.

One of the things I love about LOST is how if you meet another person who watches the show, you instantly have a conversation topic. It’s a cultural phenomenon; it’s a story that has captured so many of us. I think it’s called “LOST” because after tonight we’re all going to be a little bit lost without it.

To celebrate LOST Day, I’m posting a few photos that were sent to me as an HGRB submission. If anyone brought sexy back to reading, it was this guy:

(Thank you, Lupatrian!) If that’s not enough, here’s a great article about Sawyer and his literary preferences. There’s more pictures, too!
