GalleyCat, the book publishing industry blog, has a list of favorite books mentioned in the TV series Lost, with links to reviews of said books. The ones I've read are Valis by Philip K. Dick and Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor. Both are pretty mind-bending, but in very different ways.
Valis is a...a...gnostic sci-fi novel, I guess you could say. It's one of those books that is very difficult to categorize. But those are the kind I like best. (Those are the TV shows and films I like best, too.)
Everything That Rises Must Converge is a collection of twisted Southern Gothic short stories as only O'Connor could write them. They are all about broken people finding violent redemption. Sound familiar?
