What exactly is Sword of Shannara (or whatever it's called) about, anyway?
(She means, besides the obvious.)
Yes. Because it can't possibly be about nothing but a sword. Can it? ._.

It's actually about an arrow. *wise nod* ...so then why is it not the Arrow of Shannara? Is it because people would keep trying to say it as 'Arrow of Shannaroe' instead? I know I would =3 |

Because to give the books that certain air of mystery, they realized that if they called it "The Sword of..." when it was written about an arrow, people would be intrigued by the apparent contradiction.

But wouldn't the people throw the book at a wall when they learned that they were deceived? That's what I'd do... >.> |

I suggest banging your head against the wall first. It'll probably give you better ideas about techniques than contemplation anyway.  |

Or it'll just kill so many brain cells that she'll forget that she was going to contemplate something, and she won't have to contemplate.
