Just kidding. Maybe later.
Today, I am finally going to triumph in a struggle I have endured since childhood: to get Mark to read The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke. She was one of my favourite authors when I was young, and this one is a classic! It has adventure, magic, sibling love, an awesome detective, and makes you fall in love with Venice: not just in lust, but full-out true love.
That's why I simply cannot understand why Mark - who I've always considered a prolific reader - has never read it (especially when my recommendations are always fantastic). He always just never does it.
Here's extra incentive to read it: in 2006, a movie version was released, and, as I recall, the guy who plays Prosper is pretty hot (or was when I saw it some time ago).
Okay, maybe that isn't incentive for you, but still.
Anyway, your new "punishment" is really a reward, because this book rocks. Go forth and read!

P.S. You said that if I weren't too tired after coming from Asia, then I would post. Well, I'm exhausted, so I hope I get a freebie later.
