LOST Book Club - LBC

Edit

Getting Started Edit

We're starting a LOST Book Club on Lostpedia. Starting this section so we can discuss our ideas and suggestions.

Here's a link to the many literary works referenced with LOST. Literary Works

Our first two books are

The Fountainhead By Ayn Rand

The Dark Tower Series By Stephen King

Please let us know if you are participating and any ideas or suggestions for the LOST Book Club.

Book Nominations Edit

• The Stand would be good.--Spoilerhater 05:23, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

• I second The Stand, and also put forth Watership Down. it's an easy read. And yes, its about bunnies. And a must-read, "Lost" or no-"Lost" would be Lord of the Flies. That book never leaves your memory! Great idea on the book club.HorribleEyes 20:35, July 20, 2010 (UTC)HorribleEyesHorribleEyes 20:35, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

• I second Lord Of The Flies --Spoilerhater 00:16, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

• In no specific order I'd enjoy seeing these in the Book Club,

Slaughterhouse-Five

Nineteen Eighty-Four

Everything That Rises Must Converge

The Shape of Things to Come

--Pexxoum 23:13, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ooh, I've read Everything that Rises Must Converge, would love to hear other folks opinions. We're going through the full Dark Tower series, correct? Just checkin' JustSayin'HorribleEyes 17:32, July 28, 2010 (UTC)HorribleEyesHorribleEyes 17:32, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up this point HorribleEyes. Not all of the Dark Tower books are referenced in LOST's Literary Works page. So I'd like to see and hear some more discussion about this point before making a final decision. --Just Sayin' 17:44, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

• We seem to have been pretty arbitrary choosing works to list under Literary works. The series overall influences Lost. If the writers had "Song of Susannah" in mind, they surely considered all the other boos as well on some level. Let's make blogs for all seven volumes. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 13:14, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

• You make a good point about them including the 4th one, and from what I understand King wrote books 4-7 pretty closely together, rather than spaced out like the first three. --Jf518 00:28, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

I think we should ask if any users have read the whole series(I'm sure some have)and see how relevant they feel the series, as a hole, is to LOST. Knowing myself, I'm bound to find LOST parallels in everything I read. Just a suggestion.HorribleEyes 17:14, July 29, 2010 (UTC)HorribleEyesHorribleEyes 17:14, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hopefully, others coming here to voice their opinion will see the question you have posed HorribleEyes. It's a good queston. Thanks

--Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 18:15, July 29, 2010(UTC)

Ok, I've added the other three King books, not listed in Lostpedia's Literary Works page.

Wizard and Glass

Wolves of the Calla

The Dark Tower

There is a pre-quel short story from Everything's Eventual to be added.

Also, just a point of note. There is another Dark Tower series book coming out. It's called The Wind through the Keyhole.

When the book comes out, I'll add a Discussion Blog for the book.

--Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 15:41, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Just Sayin'. Got a few quick questions. Firstly, I see below you have a shortlist for September Book nominations. Will these be the only books to choose from, or will these actually be added to the losing books of last month? Secondly, I enjoyed re-reading Alice, but this discussion here was kinda thin, and I think thats because it lapsed onto the second page of blogs and got overlooked. Perhaps if this hapens again you could "bump" the blog to encourage discussion? --DaemonRising 14:58, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

• Hi DaemonRising, Yes, if you note on the Book Nominations Discussion blog, I have included the losing books from the previous month and then added the new book nominations for September to the list. This blog now serves as the way to nominate new books for the upcoming months and vote for next months Book of the Week selections. Then we also have the Book of the Week Discussion blog to vote each week for the next week's Book of the Week. And YES, I agree - the discussion was very thin and last week, I will try to keep it on the front page by bumping it along. But in case, I get busy, feel free to bump the discussion blog yourself. Last week I tried to spur some discussion by adding some pictures and thoughts. But that obviously did not work well. As Always, Thanks for participating in the LBC. ~See you on the blogs. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 15:11, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
• Thanks for the speedy reply, I'll get my votes in :) I'm sure there will be more discussion as people start to read books they perhaps havnt read before. Seems like most people had already read Alice and maybe didnt want to read it again. I'll do all I can to encourage discussion! Keep up the good work! --DaemonRising 15:16, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

August Book Nominations Edit

Please go here for LBC Book Nominations Discussion

Books being considered for September include,

Watership Down

Nineteen Eighty-Four

Slaughterhouse Five

The Shape of Things to Come.

It really helps to know your preferences. So please add to this list and/or cast your vote of interest for any of the books already listed. Thanks! --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 07:13, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

• I definitely vote for Watership Down, and I'm interested in the others too since I haven't read them. Other books suggestions for the future: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, The Odyssey, and Catch-22. "Occurrence" is relatively short, and Catch-22 draws some from The Odyssey, which is why I paired them together. One of my favorite Stephen King stories is The Langoliers. It's not mentioned in the show, but Damon once said in an interview that it was an influence. There's my two cents --Jf518 12:35, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

• Hi, just wanted to chime in with my two cents. At some point, I would love the LBC to read The Third Policeman. It is easily one of the most fascinating books I have ever read, full of mystery, and it has a twisted darkness and epth that is completely unique and unlike any other book I've ever read.

I am equally as passionate that we steer clear of Catch 22. This is by far the worst book I have ever read, but I also think it is completely inappropriate for a LOST book club, and I'll tell you why. The other books have a mythological or spiritual link to Losts story. Catch 22's only link is that it is set on an island. It's an incredilby long, boring, repetitive pretentious book that has no real point to it, other than the point it makes in its first few chapters: That war is crazy. The rest of the book is a repetitve slog. This is only one opinion however, and taste is subjective.

But I'm sure anyone who has read it can agree that it is a different beast to that of Lost, and it has no relevance to Lost whatsoever. Besides, it would take most people a long long long long time to read it. --DaemonRising 19:20, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

• Being the person who mentioned Catch 22, I just wanted to say that I haven't actually read it. I have heard VERY mixed opinions on it and plan on checking it out for myself, so I threw it into my suggestions...don't have a strong opinion though about it being in the book club. Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, on the other hand, is quite applicable to Lost and should definitely be read in the book club. --Jf518 22:08, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

• I agree, I started Catch 22, and couldn't bear it. I was so dissappointed, b/c it's so infamous, but I couldn't push through it. And I managed to finish The Gunslinger, if that tells you anything about its readability. Just a my opinion, that book was not for me.HorribleEyes 19:38, August 6, 2010 (UTC)HorribleEyesHorribleEyes 19:38, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

• Quick Question: Are there any LOST tie ins with The Third Policeman. Sounds like a really good book worth reading either way. Thanks to all giving suggestions so far.

--Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 19:31, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

No, there are no official tie-ins to the book. It was published in 1967, and Lost isn't based on the book so I don't see there ever being any re-publishing with a tie-in promotion. I think the book is doing well enough by itself as somewhat of a hidden gem, and the Lost exposure re-invigorated some interest, I believe. --DaemonRising 20:44, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

• I really think the LBC is an amazing idea, and I'll be following and keeping up to date. I probably won't get involved in previous discussions, but look forward to future ones. --DaemonRising 20:44, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

• I would like to voice my support for The Third Policeman and A Brief History of Time, maybe the latter might be suited at a later date due to the complexity of the subject matter. Turn of the Screw and Our Mutual Friend are also books I am keen to read at some point in the future. Keep up the good work. --Dharmafolk 23:39, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

• copied from below Sorry for not participating LBC!!! I really want to, but I have no time to read:,-( Oh... (Sounds like an excuse... I admit :P) Actually, among all books which are seen on LOST, the only one I read is Carrie by Stephen King. So I think if you guys decide to discuss on the book, I might participate that discussion! Just a recommendation...:) Thanks, have a good day! - SunHwa:D talk blog contribs 11:51, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

LBC Discussion

Edit

Hey, thanks for bringing the book club to my attention. I take it that the books posted on your user page are discussions of old, and that there shall be another discussion forthcoming?

Also, just wondering, do you have any kind of discussion blog for suggestions of your next choice, or do you just choose them yourself? --DaemonRising 12:42, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there's the LOST Book Club section above for Ideas and Suggestions. It's just a section on my talk page. You'll see other suggestions there as well. Thanks! --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 12:44, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oh and you can also join any of the existing Discussion links. We're actually, just getting started within the last month or so. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 12:48, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

LBC Suggestions

Edit

Hey Just Sayin'.

After all these awful changes of late, and much trouble on the blogs tonight, I fear for the future of LP. The admins of most wikia sites have always opposed the blogs, and I fear that they have finally won, and found a way to format the blogs that destroys our enjoyment of them.

With this awful re-formatting, and more upheavals to come, I forsee many users leaving LP. I know you said you can see some positives in some of the formatting, but the truth is that people are going to drop like flies - most people just don't like the new look.

So naturally, I also fear for the future of your book club. I find it inspiring, and I think it is a great idea, and I don't want to see it destroyed. My suggestion, a cheeky one, is that you set up a new blog on a blog hosting website, independant of wikia and it's poor governance, and host your book club on this new blog.

Losptedia used to be completely independant back in the day, and it was much higher quality, and a much nicer place to be. I think if you set up your book club on an independant and dedicated blog, I believe you would have a much better following, but the real reason is that you won't have to live in fear that the wikia admins get bored and delete the blogs (Like they want to). Overnight, All your hard work could suddenly be erased. I don't want that, and I'm sure many other's don't too.

I'd love to hear what you think about the idea. I realise this would mean more work to transfer across, and I would be happy to help you if there is anything I can do, I just fear that very soon the blogs will be deleted and our book club will be erased.

Namaste! --DaemonRising 23:03, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

SORRY TO BUTT IN:

BUT...I have to concur with Daemon. You are on to a great idea and I am finding it very difficult to participate hereand I beleive there are many many others like me. In fact I finally heard from FlashMedallion today and speak to Hurley's Hummer via email. You should do your own site for LBC. At least be ready with one as this site is becoming so uninspiring and so difficult to blog on.

That being said, I sincerely hope you missed my rant earlier today. I was not myself but rather fed up with things around here and probably crossed the line on personal attack. I think I have atoned, but I know in your's and Horribleeyes eyes (LOL that is funny) it would not be acceptable dialogue. In fact I was even called a troll!! Yes, I have clearly hit a new low! Take care and know you have my support--Annied 00:25, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Wow! Sorry, I couldn't stay around yesterday or this morning as I had previous committments to attend. Sounds as though there must have been interesting discussions. I'll check them out. Let's see how all of this continues, I will certainly consider your points, but would like to discuss offline perhaps on email. What do you think? --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 16:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe the Lost Book Club Wiki? An idea :) --Station7 16:53, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

• @DaemonRising, you say that users are, or will drop like flies. I don't agree with that. I ain't going nowhere, and I'm sure no one else is going anywhere, and we are getting many new users... Julietfan2626 20:50, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

• @JulietFan, Users here have been dropping like flies for the last 6 months, so you say "I'm sure no one else is going anywhere". Well I say that people have been leaving for 6 months.. considering the overwhelming opposition to Wikia's recent changes, I can't exactly see this encouraging those leaving to actually stay. At best, current trends shall continue, and people will continue leaving at a low rate. At worst, lots and lots of people will leave at a higher rate. Under no circumstances will a. The community stay the same size, or b. The community grow. Online communities start, they gain popularity, they have their peak years, then they fade. This is no different. I am simply saying that instead of being controlled by Wikia, an organisation that are a. Beurocratic, and b. Like to abuse their members, we should take the book club, and move it to a private zone, where we can enjoy things more. I realise my initial response was a knee-jerk one, and I may have overstated the situation. I would just like a contingency plan, incase things do go badly around here. Please note, I am not proposing we move the whole community. This place will stay here. I am just asking for a back-up plan for the book club. --DaemonRising 01:56, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

@ Just Sayin'

Hi, Finally saw your reply to my original message, sorry for the late reply. I'd be happy to discuss things with you online or offline. I have to say I am totally inexperienced when it comes to creating webpages or blogs, that's why I previously said it would be cheeky of me to request that you set up a whole new space just because of my fears, which are yet to happen, and may not happen. It may be best to just sit on things for now, and see how things go, and if we need to move, then move. One thing I would say though, is that The Book Club is such a great idea, and it is reaching a very small audience on the Lostpedia Blog. I'm sure many Lost fans who don't attend these blogs would like to join in with these discussions, they just don't know about them! --DaemonRising 01:46, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks for your response. Yes, I believe we have come to the same conclusion about the LBC for now. With your previous comments, I am prepared to make a move on short notice if it becomes necessary. And even though some of the previous users have left the site, I think with joint and concerted effort, we may be able to draw people back to participate in the LBC. I know you're not happy with some of the changes on Wiki, but honestly, I feel these changes can help organize our responses and thoughts much easier for the LBC. They are going thru some changes and some of those changes I believe will benefit all of us. I'm also working on some things to create easier access to the LBC Discussion blogs and associated links. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 02:37, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

• In regards to the book club, I also have a couple of ideas. Under the current questions, you have "Do the characters seem real and believable?". However many of the books we have read or are about to read, Alice in Wonderland, The Third Policeman, as well as Dostoyevsky's work, fall under the closely related fields of absurdism/existentialism, and to verying degrees, the characters are not meant to be realistic in a traditional sense. Some members of the bookclub may be looking at your questions prior to reading the book, and may judge the book in the "wrong" light, if they are looking for "realistic" characters. In some works of absurdism, the characters are there to represent something. While they may act believably for much of the book, many of the characters may be acting in a completely absurd manner. In essence the whole point To The Third Policeman is that the characters are unrealistic and absurd. The book deals with this in many ways, making the protagonist the "voice of reason". I just think that we should also be asking "Are the characters meant to be realistic?", "If not, why?", "What does each character represent?", "Do the characters provide any metaphors". Even for non absurd works, the latter question - "Do the characters provide any metaphors". - would be apt for many books, especially a book such as "Lord of The Rings", which is not a book that exists in the realms of absurdism/existentialism, however is an allegorical fable in which everthing can be decoded and analysed and in which everything is metaphorical. As well as these 3 questions, if I may I would like to propose a few more, which would be "What are the key themes explored in the book?" with the bullets - "Does the book have any underlying messages?" and -"Does the book, or do any elements of the book serve as a metaphor for something else?". I think the current questions you have are brilliant, and I think adding these would make our experience a little more complete, and cover most of the angles at which one can approach reading a book :) --DaemonRising 01:54, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks for your question suggestions. And Yes, of course we can add these questions within the discussion blogs. There are always going to be some minor/major variances in each book's discussion. So the current questions developed for discussion are intended to cover a wide range of possibilities in a story. If you ever see a need for any other questions for discussion, feel free to either ask them on the blog or shoot me another message here or the LBC talk page. You know, we are discussing The Third Policeman this week. Hope you will be able to participate in the LBC discussions. Thanks--Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 02:37, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
• Okay, great. Any chance any of those Q's could be added to The Third Policeman page? I've still got to finish Watership down too, nice to see you've bumped those pages, too :)

Yes, I've posted your questions on The Third Policeman and I'm looking to see IF they can be condensed into the other questions for the other blogs. Thanks again~Enjoy your day --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 11:23, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

As I stated previously with some additional points:

A. Our existing questions on the LBC are stated in broad terms to cover a variety of books we are reading.

B. This is a LOST book club, exploring specific books mentioned or seen on the series or by the creators/writers.

C. Our primary intention in reading specific books related to LOST is to explore the following.

*Why were these books inspirational to the creators/writers of LOST?

*What are the similarities and differences in theme, philosophy, characters, setting and evolution, between LOST and the books?

D. Our Guidelines for discussion keep us on track and encourage specific rather than general participation.

* Be specific and provide examples to back up your point of view.

* To make the discussion more interesting, feel free to ask your own questions.

* Please be considerate of all points of view.

* Encourage participation.

* Keep the discussion related to the specific book and related LOST content. (This point is being added)

Keeping these points in mind and after reviewing our current questions and the proposed questions by DaeomonRising, my observations are noted below:

Current Questions

1. What is unique about the setting of the story?

Does this setting enhance or take away from the story?

2. What specific themes are discovered throughout the story?

Do you see any themes also relating to the story of LOST?

What is the message conveyed by the story themes?

3. Do the characters seem real and believable?

Which characters remind you of similar characters in LOST?

Are their predicaments similar to any in LOST?

4. How do characters change or evolve in the story?

What triggers those changes?

What are the similarities and differences with LOST characters?

5. What are the philosophical views portrayed in the story?

How is it the same/different from LOST's philosophical view?

Proposed Questions

1. Are the characters meant to be realistic?

This question and the subset below are similar to question 3 and its subsets above , which includes real and believable. Whether the character is meant to be believable/realistic can, and often is detailed in responding to this question. Therefore, I see no need to add this or the subset to our existing questions.

If not, why?

See above

2. What does each character represent?

Our goal is to explore the similarities and differences with LOST characters. To me, this is a very vague question. And honestly, I feel IF a character represents something, it will be brought out and explored further in the discussions. And truthfully, if you review LBC discussions, there appear to be only two answers, which are, in the simplist terms good or bad. There are several variations of these simple terms. However, the point being they have been brought out in discussions without this question. Therefore, I don't really see a need to add this question.

Do the characters provide any metaphors?

Now this question although similar to the one above I may consider adding with a link to the definition/examples of metaphor.

3. What are the key themes explored in the book?

This question and the subset question are similar to question 2 and it's subset questions currently on our list. Again, if the the theme is key or if there is an underlying message, it can and has been brought out and explored in the LBC discussions. So again, I don't see a need to add these to our current list.

Does the book have any underlying messages?

See above

4. Does the book, or do any elements of the book serve as a metaphor for something else?

As explained in subset of question 2 above, I may consider adding this question with more specific references. ie. Do you see any metaphors in the characters, themes, philosophy, or setting of this book? with a subset question of How do these metaphors similar or different to metaphors in LOST? However, I must point out, this is a consideration and may or may not be added, based on whether or not these points are discussed without the question.

My final point, as indicated in our Discussion Guidelines, is everyone is encouraged to ask any additional questions, provided they are related to the specific book and similar LOST content. So please feel free to ask any future questions you feel are appropriate to our LBC discussions blogs.

@DaemonRising, I'm sure you've heard the phrase Great minds think alike. Your questions prove out we are of the same/similar mindframe with the questions for discussion on LBC. The fact, that you took the time to present this idea is very much appreciated and may (most likely will) have resulted in some modifications to our existing points. So, I THANK YOU, for taking the time to help us improve the LBC. As always, I look forward to your continued participation with LBC.--Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 13:35, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. After I receive your response, I will be moving this discussion to our LBC talk page. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 13:35, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

• Hi Just Sayin, sorry for the lateness of my reply. It really means alot to me that you would work on integrating a couple of my suggestions into the LBC, I appreciate the effort you are putting in. These days, I'm a little shy of this Wiki.. to be honest, I hate Wikia for what it has done to the once independant Lostpedia. I can't stand the bureaucracy. Also, I find this place to be somewhat of an embarrassment. We once had authentic, intelligent, philosophical and knowledgeable contributors... now we have a bunch of kids running riot. Which they have every right to do, this is a free space.. I just don't like what it has become. I find myself really demotivated to post any commments on any book discussions because I know that the old audience has gone, and furthermore, I know your LBC discussions will be bumped down by immature posts, littered with poor spelling and grammar. Call me a snob but this place isn't the place that it was... and the reason I came here was because of what it was... not what it is now!

I wish you all the luck with the LBC, and I will continue to check in on it, and I most likely will post a few comments here and there..Ideally I'd like to be motivated enough to read and comment on all your books! I'm just finding it a little difficult to conribute to these blogs right now. As I hinted at last week... you have a monumental concept, the LBC, which isn't being given the correct audience. I feel the LBC would appeal most to the Lostpedia blogs of old. I know you are getting some feedback, but 18-24 months ago, you would have had 200 odd comments per book. I say this because books were always discussed here, in passing, as well as directly. There was huge interest in the influence of Losts Literature on the programme itself. I could have easily seen 20-40 users all chiming in with their two cents about each and every book.

I realise I am probably coming accross as a giant pain in the ass right now, because I've discussed a few different ideas with you.. and I'm virtually saying "I can't be bothered"... I hope it doesn't seem like that.... it's more to do with the fact that nobody else can be bothered here. As I said last week, people will drop like flies, and they seem to be starting. Our old community has gone.. Station 7 is still here which is good to see but unfortunately he doesn't read books! I just feel the LBC would be better in a more specialised space. I would love to discuss The Third Policeman with you though, as it is one of my two favourite books of all time. Let me know when you have finished reading it, and we can discuss, even though we may be the only two willing to discuss it :) --DaemonRising 01:28, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, DaemonRising, I'm still here. But I don't have really the concentration to read books. For comics, yes, but books, that's harder.--Station7 19:40, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

LBC Rocks!

Glad to be a part! I love coming on here to discuss books. I was afraid once LOST was over, my fun on Lostpedia would be too. You revived it, thank you!HorribleEyes 02:16, August 6, 2010 (UTC)HorribleEyesHorribleEyes 02:16, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

I've started using torrentz.com instead of isohunt. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 17:56, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know Balk, I'll make that adjustment as well. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 18:02, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say I appreciate your thanks! I've been having a great time reading and discussing with everyone, and credit is definitely due to you for getting it started, and more importantly, keeping it organized. --Jf518 14:29, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Comics Discussion

Edit

Count comics to? No joke.--Station7 13:02, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Good point Station7. Do you know of a way to get comics online? --Just Sayin' 13:18, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

I'd be interested in some comics, did you have any in mind? --Jf518 00:28, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

No, maybe some other people well.--Station7 13:51, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

At the moment not, but I have at home a collection from 221 coimics (Dutch).--Station7 18:07, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Well, this is the first comic about the Red Knight. This story is brilliant. From sources that I found, it's in English version to, but I don't know if you can find them on the computer. I put a source on Mittelman's page, because they are in English version.--Station7 21:48, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Source that they know from it on English Wiki.--Station7 21:52, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Looking to see if this is available in English. Did not see an English link on the wiki link you gave. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 22:32, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

LBCEdit

Actually I'm not a book reader, but I hope LBC still excist after I come back from my vacation. Those blogs are awesome and are really entertainment. I can't say what happened in a week, and I don't mean that rude. But the readers and are a little bit coming and going. I love the LBC logo, do you mind if I put it on my userpage :)?--Station7 13:52, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hey there, you asked BalkOfFame to help you with making a tab-page. Well actually you can make a tab-page like did: User:Just Sayin'/Lost Book Club --Station7 15:20, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

• Where do I put that - does it just go on my user page when I EDIT the page?

I'm sorry that I interupted Balk, but good, I'm here to help. No, this is a tab-page, so it will be linked above the page to your userpage. I hope I'm saying it good :) --Station7 15:29, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Nothing bad can happen, it's your tab-page, so try it. Go editen :) --Station7 15:35, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Other videoEdit

You should put an other video about Juliet, Adam and Amelia etc. from the Book Club. My computer can't except this.--Station7 19:59, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Do you have a link to the video Station7?--Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 23:41, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

The video where down is The Best of Lost Book Club. You should choose another video that my computer can accept.--Station7 09:46, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

PictureEdit

Look what I found. I thought I should upload it, but it was already here on Lostpedia.

Wow, this is pretty nice. I wonder what the LLL means. Love the Book Club in the center with the door. Thanks for sharing this. I'll see if we can use it with our group. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 17:32, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

The computer didn't work for a few minutes what about this: Like Love Lost Book Club. It doesn't make any sense.--Station7 18:21, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

I found out what LLL stands for...it's Lostpedia Literary League. --Just Sayin' JSTalk LBC LBCTalk eMail 14:09, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
