...Dreams at the same time as Prep - "There came this point where it was almost like dating two different people," she says. There's certainly a sibling resemblance between the two novels. Sittenfeld's new heroine is a rather strange girl named Hannah: thoughtful, withdrawn, a little out of synch with the world around her. Like Lee, she's mesmerized, and a little paralyzed, by the tiny, glittery hypocrisies and white lies and unspoken truths that make up human interaction.

No, Urge poses a threat to Apple because of the MTV brand and because MTV closely works with youth-oriented cell-phone carriers like Virgin Mobile USA. When the circle is complete, it won't be an MP3 player that gets synched with your TRL feed, but a phone with 2GB of flash memory...
