Remember those cheesy romantic novels that were always lying around some grandparent's house when you were a kid? They always seem to end up stuffed in the dollar bin outside a used bookstore, or stacked against a sidewalk tree. It's a shame, because old book covers make great meme formats. Niche memelords like Paperback Paradise take these forgotten relics and reappropriate them into rude and crude memes for a whole new audience. We've gathered some of our favorite examples of these clever gems.

With nearly everyone in lockdown due to the pandemic, a lot more people seem to be dusting off the books from their shelves and getting their read on. That's all well and good, but we prefer to get our reading done in a more meme-centric way. These text tidbits from SparkNotes manage to combine literature and memes in a way that can satisfy our need for memes as well as the more cultured readers. The texts basically take literature's great lover-boys and imagine how they'd behave with an iPhone. The results are pretty priceless.
