LOST Book List Pt. 2 - The Swan & Desmond's List
These are the books seen on the shelf inside the Swan station (otherwise known as the Hatch), as well as the books Desmond was seen reading throughout the show. There are too many books depicted on Lost to be able to list them all in one list. I have split the lists up into 4 easy to find groups.
