Help me name my next EP.

February 28, 2020 4:19 PM

I’m trying to name my second EP. I would like a name from academia or librarianship.

I recently finished writing a five-song EP that’s inspired by Sassy magazine and Elif Batuman’s The Idiot, and has a loose narrative about a college student getting yanked around by a fuckboy. I’m looking for a title that alludes to academia or libraries. Help?

I don't, alas, have a direct recommendation, but perhaps there is inspiration to be found via Fuckbois of Literature [MeFi]?
