AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Thick Book vs. Thin Book' or 'Big Book vs. Small Book' meme features a side-by-side comparison of two books: one noticeably thicker than the other. This format is commonly used to humorously compare two versions of a story or subject matter, with the thicker book typically representing the more detailed or complete version.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from posts by Redditor CosmowYoung on June 17th, 2019, on the subreddits r/memes and r/me_irl. The original image featured a thick book labeled 'Greek mythology' alongside a significantly thinner book labeled 'Greek mythology without Zeus' sex life'.
