Forget the fancy Lost timeline, or cheat-sheet catch ups like Lost In 10 Minutes. If you're a true fan you should be recallng the entire show from memory. Gawker tried it out.

The final season of Lost kicks off with a double episode on Sky1 this Friday at 9pm.

nice collection of book covers on t-shirts at Out Of Print

"Out of Print celebrates the world’s great stories through fashion. Our shirts feature iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great t-shirts, but all are striking works of art.

In addition to spreading the joy of reading through our tees, we acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all. We are working to change that. For each shirt we sell, one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa."

The inevitable...

George needs the $$$$

RIP J.D. Salinger, author and legend. Despite penning uber-classic The Catcher In The Rye, Salinger has been reclusive and unpublished since 1965 - although allegedly writing constantly. Time will tell.
