The writers have said that there are certain books that, if you have read them, will help you in understanding what is going to be happening. One of these books is 'The Third Policeman' written by Flann O' Brien. On another board someone left a description of the book at amazon, here it is;

Book Description
Fiction. The last of O'Brien's novels to be published and now reissued by Dalkey Archive, THE THIRD POLICEMAN is Flann O'Brien's brilliant comic novel about the nature of time, death, and existence. Told by a narrator who has committed a botche d robbery and brutal murder, the novel follows him and his adventures in a two-dimensional police station where he is intruduced to "Atomic Theory" and its relation to bicycles, the existence of eternity (which turns out to be just down the road), and the view that the earth is not round but "sausage-shaped."

Has anyone read it? I think I might check sparknotes, to lazy to read it

A running theme in LOST is mention of many philosophers. There is a fictional one in the book named de Selby who sees life as a hallucination... a waking dream.

The moster is a bunch of rabbits. They hide in the smoke.
