19 Memes All Book Lovers Will Understand

by Sadie Trombetta

Despite what you might think about book lovers and our distaste for all things digital, we are pretty Internet savvy. Just like everyone else, we enjoy social media, videos of baby animals, we especially like memes that all book-lovers understand. Yes, we enjoy a good, long read, but we also enjoy cleverly paired words and images that are just long (and bookish) enough to make us chuckle. Trust me, there are a lot of book-related memes out there, because really, what isn't there a meme for?

The Internet is a great place to get a good laugh. It's also a great place to lose hours of your life without realizing it, but does that really matter when those hours are spent chuckling at crazy things cats do, bizarre human behavior, and your exact feelings about something put into words and pictures? No, the Internet isn't just something for Kim Kardashian to break. It's an endless world of entertainment, even for those of us who prefer words printed on paper instead of on our computer screens.
