In Donnie Darko, what books were mentioned?

Question

In "Donnie Darko," what books are mentioned throughout the film? I know there is the fictional book by Roberta Sparrow, "The Philosophy of Time Travel." However, I recall there are at least three other books referenced: one about time travel, one that the class was reading, and another that the class had to read as an alternative because Kitty had the original book banned in deleted scenes. Additionally, there is the mention of "28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds." Can anyone provide more details on these titles?

Books mentioned or seen within the film:

“The Destructors” by Graham Greene

“Watership Down” by Richard Adams

“The Philosophy of Time Travel” by Roberta Sparrow (fake)

“It” by Stephen King

“The Tommyknockers” by Stephen King

*** edit ****

Not sure how this answer can get a thumbs down?

It lists all the main books in the film.

Stephen King is Richard Kelly’s favourite author and he deliberately put a couple of his books in the film.

I know there was the fake book by Roberta Sparrow, Philosophy of Time Travel.
But there were like 3 other books mentioned.

1 about time travel
1 the class was reading
and one that the class had to alternatively read because Kitty had the book banned in deleted scenes.

The Philosophy of Time Travel book, as well as its complete contents (tangent universes, etc), is a work of fiction, created by Richard Kelly, who wrote and directed it.
