There are now 11,000 returns on Google for the exact phrase "Book meme", 41 for "Bibliomeme", 1,450 for "Page 23 meme".

Just before posting this I found a comprehensive research piece on this meme,page 23, sentence 5: an autopsy . It turns out that

"that p23s5 was a mutation of an earlier meme, p18s4. While waiting to hear back from AC, I realized that I had been exposed much earlier to this less virulent variation, by hepkitten on April 4th ."
