I recently experimented with reading a book on my iPod Touch, and I started with a free one, Topper. I can't just barely remember the series on TV featuring Leo G. Carroll, and that was the face that was in my imagination reading this charming little piece of 1930s fluff. Cosmo Topper lives a boring and predictable life until he buys a car. Not just any car, a car haunted by the ghosts of a party-hard couple named George and Marion Kerby. Together they make Topper's life anything but boring and predictable. The chapters are episodic, making an easy book to pick up, put down, and return to later. It's funny in a gin-soaked, not very politically correct sort of way, and a fine way to while away an afternoon or a plane ride. I'm looking forward to watching the movie with Cary Grant.
