Is this Foucault's Pendulum? After last weeks episode we can add another book to LOST's list of reading material. Has there ever been a tv show that encouraged reading as much as LOST? I know...I took another picture off my tv...it was just such a cool set. My pic doesn'tbegin to do it justice.
Above is the scientist Foucault's pendulum, built to demonstrate the earth's rotation.

Ah, thanks for the links!
And they mentioned Chronicles of Narnia last night in the 8 pm review show!
Even though they've never been explicitly mentioned in the show, I suspect Borges's "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" and Casares's "The Invention of Morel" were influences. Also Watchmen. I have a Dr. Manhattan theory of Alpert and the Others. And there's some time travel in Flann O'Brien's Dalkey Archives.
Oh, doy. I just noticed you also had Morel on your list.
