Two LOST Books on Kindle for Free

LOST fans who enjoy reading should check out two books by Pearson Moore, both of which are currently free for Kindle owners with Amazon Prime subscriptions:

   

The first book is LOST Humanity: The Mythology and Themes of LOST, and the second book is LOST Identity: The Characters of LOST. The titles are pretty self-explanatory.

Each book has an average review rating of of 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.

As of when I'm writing this, both books can be borrowed "for free, with no due dates, if you are an Amazon Kindle owner and Prime member." This offer may only be available for a limited time, so if you're eligible, borrow them now if you think you might want to read them in the future.

If you don't have both a Kindle device and an Amazon Prime subscription, don't fret—you can buy copies of the e-books for just $4.99 or $3.99 respectively for viewing on any device for which a Kindle reader app is available (which includes Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, and Android). Or if you'd rather own a physical copy of the books, paperback editions are also available for $12.95 and $9.95, respectively.

Announcements and Hiatus Plans

Don't worry, LOST fans! I haven't forgotten about the Season 3 finale. I'm still in the process of editing the live post-show podcast, which was roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes long unedited! I intend to release it in a few smaller, more manageable segments over the next few weeks.

After I release the Season 3 finale podcast episodes, I intend to continue to post occasional updates during the hiatus. If there are any good new theories, producers' comments, official ABC press releases, or anything else that I think is worth mentioning, I'll blog and podcast about it to keep you informed. Here are some tips on staying up-to-date:

• You can get an e-mail whenever the blog is updated if you subscribe via RssFwd.
• If you prefer to listen to the podcast, you can subscribe via iTunes.
• To use another subscription service, you can use the links in the sidebar.
  

If you still find yourself bored during the hiatus (which is expected to last until February 2008), fret not—here are some suggestions:

1. There are a lot of references to books in LOST. Sawyer is always reading something. Casual references to books are frequently made on the show. Why not read some of those books to get a better understanding of their significance to the show, if any? Or why not read official LOST books like Bad Twin, which was a part of The LOST Experience? Or commentaries and guides by various authors? All of these and more can be found in a new LOST store that I'm opening this summer. You can catch a sneak peek now! Be sure to check out each of the item category links in the sidebar (DVDs, Books, Games and Toys, etc.) for a wider selection from those categories.
   
   
2. Subscribe to the LOST Theories Network or the Lost Podcasting Network to listen to LOST podcasts that are producing epsiodes during the hiatus. You can also catch up on older episodes of this podcast or The Official LOST Podcast, if you'd like.
   
   
3. Browse old articles on this blog or Lostpedia and bone up on your LOST knowledge. One study suggestion might be to read up on The LOST Experience if you didn't participate in it during the post-Season 2 hiatus. Although The LOST Experience is not expected to continue during the present hiatus, studying the previous Experience can be insightful since many of its revelations about the Dharma Initiative, the Hanso Foundation, and Alvar Hanso still haven't been explored on the show. Another idea is to participate in Lostpedia's "Lost Rewatch" (see the main page at Lostpedia for details) and go back and look for things you may have missed in previous episodes. Then, if you find something that hasn't been mentioned yet on Lostpedia, you can contribute to Lostpedia's articles.
   
   
4. Take a few minutes and fill out my podcast listener survey and digg this podcast! You can also digg the LOST Theories Network.
   
   
5. If you're into technology, I'm in the planning stages of starting a tech podcast during the hiatus. More details will be posted when the podcast becomes available. If you're interested in becoming a co-host, please read this! Also, if you enjoy studying religion, another podcast that might interest you is this one.

Valentine's Day LOST Shirt Designs

It seems I've gone a bit design-crazy as of late. I've created four (count 'em, FOUR!) new LOST designs, just in time for Valentine's Day! Show your love for the LOST characters with a shirt, sticker, mug, hat, poster, mouse pad, or whatever else strikes your fancy. Here's a sample of two of the new designs:

Similar to the "Kate is my Valentine" design pictured above, there's also a "Sawyer is my Valentine" design and a "Jack is my Valentine" design. My personal favorite, though, is "I love Hurley." =) I hope you like them!

Is there a design you'd like to see? Post your ideas in the comments section, or e-mail me at thelostmeister at gmail dot com.

New LOST Shirt Designs!

I recently designed some new LOST apparel, stickers, etc. My latest designs include:

"Christian Shephard is my Father" has reference to the fact that he has a daughter who lived in Australia (who might possibly be Claire). "The Real Sawyer is my Father" has reference to the fact that the original Sawyer, from whom James "Sawyer" Ford got his nickname, was a confidence man. Some have theorized that "the real Sawyer" may be Locke's dad, Anthony Cooper, who obviously is very good at pulling long cons.

New Hurley Quote: "Whoa, Dude... The Hatch Blew Off Your Underwear"

In the preview for next week's episode, there was a great Hurley quote. Hurley sees Desmond walking around in the jungle in the nude and says to him, "Whoa, dude... the hatch blew off your underwear."

I thought this line was so hilarious, it deserves to be on a t-shirt. So now it is. =) Click on the image to the right to get one for yourself (also available on boxers, of course).

Commentary on this week's episode, The Glass Ballerina, is in the works.
