Read an excerpt from Madeleine L'Engle's book Camilla 108 is the sum of all the numbers and has great significance in Lost lore. In the Lighthouse episode, number 108 on the lighthouse wheel is Wallace-one that Jacob hints is coming to the island. If we aren't reading too much into it, consider this: In the book, Charles Wallace has psychic qualities. Fast forward to Season 6, Episode 8, 'Recon,' Charlotte finds A Wrinkle in Time on Sawyer's dresser in his sideways reality. In the very next episode, Season 1, Episode 19: 'Deus Ex Machina,' he's on the beach reading the book when Jack offers to help him find some glasses for his 'hyperopia' (farsightedness). In Season 1, Episode 18, 'Numbers,' we find Sawyer reading A Wrinkle in Time on the beach. Lost and A Wrinkle in Time share overt themes about religion and faith, time and space travel with multiple dimensions and an evil force called The Black Smoke and The Black Thing respectively. In the episode, Miles asks sideways Sawyer, 'Do you want to die alone?'ДЄ combination of science fiction, romance and adventure, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle is the story of a teenage time traveler who takes her brother and a friend with her to rescue her father, a scientist being held prisoner by an evil force. Fast-forward to Season 6, and Watership Down is seen on Sawyer's dresser in his sideways reality.

The novel is seen again in Season 3, Episode 15, 'Left Behind,' when Hurley cons Sawyer into being nice to the other survivors by telling him that they will take a vote on whether or not he should be banished. In Season 1, Episode 8, 'Confidence Man,' Sawyer is accused of withholding Shannon's inhaler medicines and the book gives it credence, as it was in the same luggage. We first see Sawyer reading Watership Down in Season 1, Episode 6, 'House of the Rising Sun,' when he chooses to stay at the beach instead of moving to the caves as Jack requests. Lost and Watership Down both share the themes of exile, the search for home, a frightening smoke monster and the dominant idea that Jack proclaimed at the end of Season 2-'Live together, die alone.' Season 1, Episode 6: 'House of the Rising Sun'Д«illed as, 'a timeless novel of exile, courage and survival,' Watership Down by Richard Adams has made enough appearances in the past six seasons that one might argue it deserves an end credit. So George walks him out in the woods and tells him to look out yonder and picture the pretty little house they're going to live in one day, and he shoots George in the back of the head.'ДЇake Smoke Monster Locke: 'Well, that doesn't sound like a happy ending.'Д¬heck out the complete works of author John Steinbeck Lenny's kind of slow, causing George problems. Sawyer: 'It's about these two guys-George and Lenny.

Sawyer asks: 'My favorite Steinbeck- Of Mice and Men-you know that one?'ДЇake Smoke Monster Locke: 'Nope, a little after my time.' In Season 6, Episode 4, 'The Substitute,' we see Sawyer and Fake Smoke Monster Locke walking though the jungle. I tell ya, I tell ya, a guy gets too lonely, and he gets sick.' The quotation is an interesting contrast to the episode title-and yet another reverberation of the show's 'Live together, die alone' philosophy. It don't make any difference who the guy is, so long as he's with you. The first time we see Sawyer reading John Steinbeck is in prison in Season 3, Episode 4, 'Every Man for Himself.' Then Sawyer cracks a joke that Ben, his captor, would like Of Mice and Men because a 'puppy gets killed.' Later, Ben shows his prowess by quoting a line Sawyer doesn't recognize: 'A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody. The book may also suggest that dreams are, quite often, ultimately futile. Of Mice and Men is a great American novel about love and loneliness, feeling displaced and rootless, and two friends who have nothing but each other. Season 3, Episode 4: 'Every Man for Himself'
