Oh internets... know anything about USB microphones?

Subpress has hired me to do an audio version of a story and I want it to sound good. Yanni recommended I get the best USB mic I can find but... I'm lazy and don't like shopping. Anyone here know what I should get?

Any decent microphone should do fine. I'd recommend using something like the Zoom H2 recorder, because it lets you get away from the noisy computer.

Doing the recording in a silent room makes a big difference. One without echoes is even better, if you can get one. (You can always add echoes in post-processing. Removing them is a different matter.)
