Excerpt from the hypothetical book in question:
Infinite Jest walked into the lazy salon six shooter already out of the holster. Infinite Jest scanned the faces of the patrons: he didn't see anything he didn't like and he didn't see anything he did like either and thats just the reason Infinite Jest had to start a ruckus...

Not even memeing but would 'The Death of Sisyphus' be a good title.

Also titles with an 'Or:' subtitle are great.

>> No.6695726

>>6695699
the "or" implies an "alternate title"

different from subtitle in many snobby ways
