Seems like Ben might be a bit of a Stephen King fan after-all.  To his right you can see a copy of Stephen King's 'The Gunslinger'.   Coincidently, Damon Lindelof is involved in adapting the series with J.J. Abrams.  If you remember in 'Not in Portland',  one snotty book club attendee chastised Juliet for choosing a Stephen King book, stating Ben wouldn't read it in the bathroom. He was right!  Ben prefers to read it in bed.
