If you named 6,000,000 books, 2 books an hour, with all your friends helping you name books, you would need over 1,000 friends to do it in the time you're suggesting. Not to mention all the time and friends needed to maintain the libraries with wooden doors

Hi, I'd like to return this book. I have a few complaints about its contents. There appears to be hairs growing on the title page and there's a tattoo covering the first line of chapter 3. Also, it smells terrible.

hahah wud if... wud if I just leave out the last half of a sentence in a way that make reader go "wo"
The mid-sentence ending is meaningless because it communicates the exact same thing as any other ambiguous ending. It's just a cheap trick used to impress brainlets.
A proper discussion of unfinished lit would involve books that were left unfinished unintentionally such as Lucretius' The Nature of Things, Gogol's Dead Souls, Musil's The Man Without Qualities, etc.
