Literature/Headscratchers

A collection of Headscratchers pages for all things Literature and Folklore.

Before you add a new entry, see if it's on the page already first. Chances are, someone else has noticed the same thing you did and it's already been discussed. If no Headscratchers page currently exists for the work you're confused about, feel free to add one. Just type Headscratchers/NameOfBook?action=edit in your html bar, and voila! It should appear as an icon on the main page once you're done. Remember to index it here afterward.
