I don't know if anyone noticed this, but in one of the Serenity promo images, Book's Chinese must not be very good (or he could be a genius). Apparently, he is reading the book upside down.

Good catch Haken. I didn't even notice it.

Maybe Book likes a challenge when he reads so he reads it upside down.

Ron Glass, not knowing Chinese, might have made the mistake because a Chinese book flips the opposite direction from a Western book.

Maybe River "fixed" it for him...

More importantly, he's reading at the dinner table.

How rude, and from a Shepherd as well!

Good eye Haken.
I looked at it earlier today, thought it looked like it might possibly be upside down, but couldn't tell. So I let it go. I figured by now they'd all be familiar enough with chinese to know if it was right-side up or not. (Guess not, huh?)

If you want to be insane and refuse to believe it is a mistake you could say he's a closet left-hander. Left-handed people are better (than right handers) at reading upside-down, backwards, and upside down and backwards. My sister practices sometimes, she keeps her notes in reverse and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her reading a book upside-down.

I love reading upside down and writing backwards (not a lefty but a trained ambi). It was a fun game I played when I was little.

...

I've just relaized my parents abused my willingness to play games by making me read upside down and write with both hands.

Sigh.

Lucky you, theories regarding me range from having no good hand to being switched (left handed but trained only to use the right.)

My god I can derail a conversation quickly.
