Today's guest on the Morning Media Menu was Chad W. Post, the director of Open Letter Books and blogger at Three Percent.

In a mediabistro.com exclusive, Post revealed a book that will play an role in an upcoming episode of Lost--our first glimpse into the mysterious world of the final season of the show. According to Post, episode six will reference Japanese author Shusaku Endo's book, "Deep River."
