Do you think there is any significance to books Sawyer reads? Similar to how the stories in the flashbacks relate back to what's happening in the present time, what kind of connection is the show trying to make with these books?

At first, I thought it might just be some of the books that have significance, like "Of Mice and Men" as it's brought up and referenced quite a bit in a single episode. I haven't read it, though, so I'm not sure if there are similarities in the story.

Then, I saw Sawyer reading "The Fountainhead". I haven't read that one either, but I know of Ayn Rand; that seems like a very specific book to select. I think it's possible this was kind of a random choice to make, but I would also think that if they did pick random books for Sawyer to read as props instead having a significance to them, you'd have a wider array of genres throughout the episodes. There were kids on the plane, so you'd think there would be at least one copy of Harry Potter, right?

Reading the Wikipedia page, it says it's about an architect who won't submit to an architectural establishment and talks about the ideas of collectivism vs. individualism. I think it might just be a simple nod to the episode, as it's in the one where Kate, Locke, and Sayid find Mikhail. While Sayid and Kate are working together, Locke is kind of doing his own thing.

What do you guys think? Or, am I just overthinking it?
