I started reading the book Island by Aldous Huxley. This book would be pretty cool on its own, but with its MANY tie-ins to Lost, it makes for fantastic reading.
One parallel I've made is that on this island, birds talk. Its not like you can carry a conversation with them, but one of the early founders of the civilization taught birds to repeat a word or short phrase as a pep talk or encouragement. This made me think of that big green bird from season 1 and 2 finales that sounded as if it was saying Hurley's name. Neat, huh?

Sounds like a good book to read along side Lost. I read a Huxley book back in college called "A Brave New World. I remember it to be pretty crazy about a future Utopian society and the benefits and pitfalls of living in seemingly "perfection." I can see Island using some of the same themes.
Good link to the Hurley bird. It was just brought up in the latest official Lost podcast, but not very much information was given out.
Could this bird have a part in the time travel excitement of season 5?
