life Lessons From Reading
hi i just finished reading "The Great Gatsby", by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I gotta say not exactly the best book ever, but it started reading it because it was assigned to us at school. now i realize that the narrator, Nick, basically gets to know a person and tries to get the whole story before he starts to judge you i just thought that this was a really cool and moral thing to do. and it really makes since because you get to know a person and defers racism, prejudices, and stereotypes. i just wish that i could learn more. so what kind of life changing epiphany has anyone else ever had from reading books. :]

ha...the great gatsby. i remember having to read that in school. i read this book 'affluenza' awhile ago and it pretty much put a lot of things in perspective for me. in particular, the idea of 'wealth'...some people are controlled by money and let money overrun their lives. i don't want my life to revolve around having money or having a lack of money. it just seems so wasteful.

Well I have the 2006 80 GB classic & the 32GB iPod touch both sound qualities are great but I must agree about the classic being better. I've been getting alot positive feedback about Sennheiser so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info!
