Julie tells Noah to listen to track number 4 on her Jose Gonzales cd. Track number 4 on that album is the song "Heartbeats". Coincidentally "heartbeats" was heavily featured on One Tree Hill, that same show that Austin Nichols (Noah) would later be a main character in.
Noah recommends 'Owen Meany' to Julie after she read 'The world according to Garp'.
Those two books were written by great American novelist John Irving.Both books
were also adapted for the screen.
