Like parents trying to get the kids to turn off the TV and the Wii and spend some time between covers this summer, ABC and "Lost" stewards Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have launched the "Lost Book Club" via ABC.com and iTunes.

It is exactly what it sounds like: A running list of books that have made their way on to one of the smallscreen's Best Shows Ever. There's info about each title, details of how it was referenced on the show and of course, a forum for fan gabbery. It's a little something to help tide us over during the (argggh) seven more months (give or take a week or two) until our heroes come storming back in early '09.

(I'm just dying to know what's transpiring between Sawyer, Juliet and that bottle of Dharma rum right about now...)

Dean Moriarty and Sal Paradise 4 Ever!
