You should see my library.” 5) Doubles as an anatomy of reading memes.In A Theory of Architecture, Nikos Salingaros speaks of memes as "freely propagating clusters of information" which can be beneficial or harmful. He contrasts memes to patterns and true knowledge, characterizing memes as "greatly simplified versions of patterns" and as "unreasoned matching to some visual or mnemonic prototype". [69] Taking reference to Dawkins, Salingaros emphasizes that they can be transmitted due to their own communicative properties, that "the simpler they are, the faster they can proliferate", and that the most successful memes "come with a great psychological appeal". [70] We're about to make it much more fun to document your author journey and market your book. And yes, we're including memes (scroll to the end if you're only here for those). And a funny book meme is usually an inside joke about that thing or moment that makes us laugh. How Funny Book Memes Can Help Authors Market Books When confronted with Corporations cheating and stealing the very lives of their beloved customers and employees, or Nations lying to their loyal citizens, leading them to surrender their children's lives to war against another harmless people, or when really nice boys and girls, reared NOT to kill and destroy, travel to lands afar just to murder innocent people, THEN you realize MEMES are at work.

I feel like I need to be tapped into it. Plot conflict: Similarly, you can use book memes to describe the plot types that exist in your story.

'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word même. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'."

Remember that these book memes will likely have less engagement because they're meant to stir interest in a book that others may not know about yet. You likely won't get as much initial traction on these until you have a larger fan base that knows your books well, but using current trends and adapting them to your own book or series can help. Fadeke: I work in tech and have many friends who don't and aren’t into crypto, but they heard about that meme. It went so far outside of crypto! What do you think about the explosion of crypto and web3 memes right now and over the last few years? Don: We have a video meeting every week where we kind of plan things out.
