My Sansa Clip mp3 player is still plodding along. I use it daily. Plug it into my computer, drag and drop my music and enjoy ad free music in my worktruck. I can't stand to listen the crappy radio anymore.
YSK: Aunty Ethel isn't with Uncle Ron anymore. She's with Herman now. They fell out over her planting sunflowers in the yard instead of begonias. Ron smashed her garden gnome in anger and that was it for them.
Unfortunately Malazan will be one of those book series I will never read. I have too many friends who read/tried to read them and suggested I skip it. In it's place I would recommend Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series. Beefy books but totally worth the read.
They already stripmine their citizens.
