Does it make you want to read?

USATODAY.com - Is 'Lost' a literal enigma?.

Literary references have been sprinkled throughout the mysteries of Lost: In an episode last season, the character Sawyer was reading Watership Down by Richard Adams, the story of rabbits searching for a safe place in a threatening world. At another point, he read Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, about time travel.

Are people going to turn away from the television and pick up a book? The people who write Lost fanfic and play the recurring numbers in the lottery might read the book of the week in order to dissect the mysterious plot, but will the general Lost audience be moved to pick up The Third Policeman from the library tomorrow? I doubt it.

In other news, the NHL season started today. Two years ago, I became a Calgary Flames fan when I stumbled upon the playoff games on television. After the strike, I hadn't really thought about hockey until today. (It helps that I read a lot of Canadian music blogs.)

The Flames play the Minnesota Wild tomorrow.
