I only noted one book in the most recent episode, Ji Yeon, and that book was "The Survivors of the Chancellor: Diary of J. R. Kazallon, Passenger" by Jules Verne. It was the book the lady outside the freighter room was holding upside down. I have not read this book, but, for those wanting to know what connection it may hold to the show, I think the article about it at Wikipedia may prove to show that it foreshadows some things to come on the show (though I can't be certain they will occur).

Thanks "That_evening" for posting that book. I have been focused on other things and only had a chance to add the books on the bookshelf and not in an actual thread. I didn't mean to take so long.

There are actually two other books (from the help of LOSTpedia):

The Captin's name "Gault" can be associated with two possible literary works:

Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" character John Galt who makes a huge speech in the book that encompases issues of metaphysics, epistomology, ethics and politics.

or/and

Captin Gault a fictional character created by english writer William Hope Hodgson who is a Captin for hire who has knowledge in various subjects to smuggle goods. He is a mysterious caption and each story reveals something new about him.
