Early Chinese History

What are some good books about the history of China, up to say the Qing dynasty? I am particularly interested in the Warring States period up to the first empire. Extra credit for discussions of the spread of Buddhism.

Don't Touch me.

I'd like recommendations on an alternative to the iPod Touch. I'd like web browsing and photo storage in a similar format. I'm not really interested in a phone package with usurious rates for data transfer, and I find Apple's policies wrt DRM and jailbreaking reprehensible.

I'm interested in wifi connectivity , basically for on-the road usage, with a small form factor, ideally pocketable.

Help me find a few great books for a 10+ hour flight. I love Sophie's World, Lolita, 1984 and investigative journalism. I wandered around the bookstore and was having trouble finding anything that looked good. Help me out mefi's! Nothing that is too terribly hard to get into, please. I don't want to be struggling to figure out whats going on while babies and crying and people are snoring.

Dan Gets the Blues

Got any Zydeco recommendations for me? So I just watched Schultze Gets the Blues, and while the movie wasn't that great, the music kicked ass. I've done a little searching for Zydeco, but I haven't been really consistent with what I've found. The faster the better, but I'll take any and all recomendations.
