When Bad Twin, the Lost tie-in novel supposedly written by an ill-fated passenger of Oceanic Flight 815, was published a few months ago, rumor and speculation ran wild. Some said that Lost fanatic Stephen King had written it, while others thought it was Jerry Seinfeld (huh, I never heard that one). But Hercules over at Ain't It Cool News points us to a Variety article that says the book was written by...Lawrence Shames!Shames is a well-known mystery writer, with a series of books set in Florida, and also a ghostwriter who has helped pen books by various people. But it seems that the people behind Lost aren't entirely happy with his work on the book.
It would have been great if Seinfeld had written the book: "What's the deal with airline peanuts? You get this little package of peanuts, it's hard to open, and before you know it, some guy on an island doesn't punch a button in time, and an electromagnetic field causes the plane to crash. I mean, am I right people?"

I'm beginning to think that there is not one single human experience that cannot be explained or defined or understood through an actual reference to Seinfeld or through a hypothetical reference that one of the Seinfeld characters would have said. And it's always funny! It was such a great show!

Not to be rude, but I'm sure there are folks who are still trying to avoid spoilers about season 2.
