This afternoon I mentioned to my mother that I'm not a fan of Jane Eyre.

"Oh, then!" She gushed. "Then you must read the opposite!"

"What?" I answered, puzzled.

"The opposite! the opposite of Jane Eyre, you know, from the other perspective!"

"..."

"...what?"

"um, oh, uh, you know! Ummm... what's it called."

"Is it maybe-"

"The Empire Strikes Back!" she cried triumphantly.

I blinked. "Come again?"

"The one from the perspective of the old woman in the tower!"

"That's... mum, that's not The Empire Strikes Back."

"Oh. What's that then?"

"That's Star Wars, mum."

"Oh. Aw, I can't remember what it's called... but it's very good!"
