- This article is about the Others' reading group. For other uses of "book club" see: Book club (disambiguation)
The "book club" is an informal group of Others who get together periodically to discuss a book that was selected by the meeting's host.
- Members included: Juliet, Amelia, Adam, and four Others background cast, three of whom appeared in later episodes.
- Ben didn't attend at least one meeting hosted by Juliet.
- There used to be a feature on abc.com called Book Club.
"So I guess I'm out of the book club" - Ben, "A Tale of Two Cities" |
Juliet's book
In "A Tale of Two Cities", Juliet hosted the meeting of the Book Club, which was discussing Stephen King's Carrie.
- Adam criticized Juliet's reading selection, saying that Ben wouldn't even read it in the bathroom.
- In contrast, Ben previously intimated to Locke in "Maternity Leave" that he liked Stephen King, specifically preferring his books to those of Dostoyevsky. This may have been a bit of ironic humor on Ben's part, since the Book Club had been reading a Stephen King novel immediately before witnessing the plane crash, and Ben was interrogated by the survivors 58 days later.
- Juliet told Adam that it was her favorite book. Later, when the Others were drawn outside by the mid-air breakup of Oceanic Flight 815, she was still clutching the book.
- Ben was a member, and thought Carrie was depressing. He was apparently kicked out of the club by Juliet after the altercation in his kitchen regarding Ben and Rachel's cancer. ("One of Us")
Observations
- It's notable that so many copies of the same book are available on the Island. The copies of the book are also various editions with different sleeve artwork.
- If Ben was still in the club, there would be eight members.
