My kindle looked like this:






And this is what it looks like today:






And now I have a question:

I finished reading The Reader. I highly recommend it. Now I have a choice of two books to read:

1.  Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Reli

or

2. Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Which one should I read first?

Yes, you could say I'm a fan of John Wood, although I haven't seen a lot of his work. He's not quite in my "Top Ten," but I first saw him in War Games and then Ladyhawke, and I'm always happy when I see him crop up in other things now and again (e.g., The White Countess, Rasputin, Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Chocolat--yes, great movie). He's a great character actor. I should probably make an effort to see more of his work. Does he have a major role in Uncovered? Sounds pretty interesting from the IMDb synopsis.

I wasn't impressed with the werewolf effects either, but then, while the art direction is always awesome, I'm often disappointed with the FX in the Potter films. But how about Madeye Moody? Nothing against Brendan Gleeson, but he was nothing at all like I pictured the character when reading the book!

The third book is my second favorite (it was my first favorite till I read the sixth). Of course, my favorites are the ones where Snape figures most prominently. :)

Mr Wood was my number one the year before I set eyes on Michael Emerson as Ben.

He does have a major role in Uncovered. If you want, I'll see if I can get clips up on YouTube.

Yes, Mad-Eye wasn't anything at all like I pictured him either. I thought his glass eye popped into his empty eye socket - I didn't envision it as a strap-on, haha.

Snape's my second-favourite character, but I can't remember HBP too well now, just the basic plot points. But then, the only HP book that I've reread again and again is Prisoner of Azkaban...
