As we trudge through the summer months, desperately awaiting the arrival of 2009 when new episodes of Lost return (we still believe “Australia is the key to the game”), the nice folks at ABC came up with The Lost Book Club, a way for us to pass the time and for them to screw with our minds.

Because you don’t have enough theories yet.

The club features books seen or referenced during the last four seasons and a community of like-minded freaks to discuss ad nauseum what each page might mean in the grand scheme of things. The selections can be divided into reference categories of seasons, background or dialogue.

In four seasons, they have incorporated more than 40 books. Audio versions of the books can be downloaded on iTunes if turning pages is too laborious on summer vacation.

The club welcomes you with a note from producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who invite fans to “Enjoy! And fall through the rabbit hole with us!”

What does it mean?!?!? Is it a clue? We’re reading Alice in Wonderland first!

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
