It's true that literature will set us free. We're so used to being bogged down by the noise of the internet, endlessly scrolling and filling our minds with thousands of hot takes, opinions, and jokes from people we will never know. But turn to the gentle pages of a novel, and your mind will thank you. Suddenly you have room for imagination, ideas, and wild ruminations. Suddenly the world doesn't feel so hopeless. Suddenly the chatter in your brain slows to a manageable hum. It's really that simple. It's no wonder that there's such a strong community around reading. We have book clubs, we have libraries, and we have our friends who we love taking book recommendations from.

And to top it all off, we have memes that remind us of our favorite pastime. If books set us free, then book memes make us laugh on the road to freedom.
