Neither do history books. *match point
A lot of people push me to read Jane Eyre, but none of them address the complete lack of wizards, dinosaurs or 100' fighting robots.

I don't know what history books you've been reading, pal.

Demetrius of Macedon wasn't called "Crusher of Cities" because he WASN'T a 100' robot.

He wasn't called "Crusher of Cities" at all.
-
He was called "Poliorcetes". It's a liberal translation.
-
Right. That means the dude who invests/assails cities. Very different meaning from "crush"

Translation requires a sense of the language.

What? Dude, it starts off pretty slow, but the book ends with a magical Dino-bot destroying half of England. Trust me.

I love the bit where she invents Facebook. 'Relationship status - long dead Dino-bot'. Likes - whitesnake. Dislikes - comets.

Jane Eyre was the progenitor of Dino-punk, Myke. It is a must read.
-
although back then they called it the 'starty-phoo'. They were proper jargon fiends back then, in feudal Japan.

in reality there is something even more fantastical than witches, dragons, or reverse cum-cushion goblins in Jane Eyre (1/2)

Is this your way of pitching Jane Eyre and Dinosaur Wizard Robots? Because I'm listening.
