I dislike the meme that distorts what meme actually means.

Greats books stay great because of memes. People hear of them and sometimes read them and then it passes on.

But you of course mean to ask; what books are trolls. I answer; fish around. Read the descriptions and some reviews. I could recommend a good book that doesn't do anything for you personally. This doesn't mean it isn't a good book, and it doesn't even mean you wont end up liking it someday, you should rather find in your own time.

that's not how we use semicolons; you want colons; semicolons can be replaced by periods while retaining the sentence's original meaning; they're useful for coordinating two closely linked independent clauses; for instance when one contains a pronoun whose antecedent lies in the other.

Is Lolita actually good, or a meme?

Being a meme doesn't say anything about the quality of a book; simply that it's discussed a lot.
