13 Book Memes That Any Reader Can Appreciate

Whether you're a student who is forced to complete summer reading or an adult just trying to pass the time away in lockdown with a good book, the following memes are for you. Some prefer owning an actual book while others enjoy listening to audio versions of novels, though the latter will rarely tell you that's how they've absorbed a new bestseller.

Some of us only read for school (or we just read the Sparknotes. Don't tell our teachers, please). But no matter how you choose to enjoy your books (or avoid reading them altogether), you'll understand the jokes in these literary-themed memes, since we've all got the same useless knowledge from years of mandatory reading (or pretend reading). From memes about specific novels we've all read to memes about the existence of books themselves, they're all here, and they're enough to inspire you to pick up a book again for the first time in years. Here are 13 of our favorite images from the subreddit /r/BookMemes.
