It refers back to many events in the previous books, so it would be helpful. I really enjoyed this series - the first book (Eyre Affair?) was just ok, but I'm glad I kept going - all the rest of them have been great - smart and funny!

I've been looking for other authors who are similar (is that even possible? Or at least similarly creative/crazy/transporting/compelling) and found Christopher Moore, and just read most of what he's written (I just read Fluke, and really liked it). Anyone know of other authors I should try? Thanks!

It was just so simple, easy to use! Not to mention you could get them bigger than 2, 3 or 4 gigs, and smaller than 30 or 60, or whatever they've got now. Mine is 15, and I love it. It's perfect. I don't even want a new one. A college kid resisting a new gadget? Impossible! Third gen is the best.

Don't forget to check out free podcasts on iTunes. I bought music there for months before I though to check out podcasts. Very cool!

I read in one of the Apple forums that some people say the 3rd gen is the best model because it has no moving parts (other than the hard drive). Newer models have click buttons, etc. I actually bought a refub nano just for trips and to throw in my purse, but the older one (stays hooked up to stereo at home) is still my favorite and still going strong!
