'A Hole in the World'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I keep thinking one of the hobbits would do well as Miles, forgetting their perceived shortitude was from forced perspective shots. Both Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd are apparently around 5'7", making them way too tall for Miles. I'm trying to remember if there is anyone around Danny Strong's height (5'2") who could fit, but coming up entirely blank.
I propose Peter Stormare as Bothari.
I think using CGI/forced perspective would make Miles infinitely easier to cast.

Was just about to post that. A short actor + cheating = Miles.
I suppose in other contexts people like Seth Green, Michael J. Fox and Danny DiVito could be considered hyperactive dwarfs.
(OT comment on the height list: My sister went to high school with Little Jimmie Dickens' daughter. She's 6 feet tall.)
I knew exactly who needed to be Bothari, and it's gone. Peter Postelwaite, maybe?
Actually, I was just thinking about Liam Neeson. He looms very well, and he's got the profile and the chops to make Bothari both scary and sympathetic.
So! I just happened to start Brothers in Arms, and there is lots of relevant information to current conversation. It's the one with Earth, and they describe London as 'nearly two millennia' old, so what does that make the time-frame, o people who know how old London is now? Also, Ivan is described as in great shape (looks great in clothes), with affable, even features and wavy dark hair. So now I want him to be Jude Law.
Clearly I need to read these books. Any advice on what order in which they should be read.

I was just about to ask the same thing myself.
There are new-ish omnibus reissues that put the books chronological by story, not by order of writing. I vote those. Cordelia's Honor is about Cordelia, Miles's mother, and then his stories start with Young Miles.
