I read Children of Men when it first came out and I was very intrigued (P.D. James wrote it in a break from her Dagliesh mysteries) - it was beautifully written though perhaps a bit of a disappointment when compared to her other work. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.
The interesting thing was that it was published in 1992 (I had to google it but I knew it was more than 10 years ago) so the book itself has no reference to Iraq or any particular set of current events.
The iPod will play mp3s without a problem (you don't need to convert them, although you can if you like) and they also play the format from iTunes. What they don't play is the DRM (digital rights management) version of WMA, so if you buy your music via subscription service from someplace like Napster or Rhapsody, those won't work.
