One who speaks with correct pronunciation and in old english. They are commonly found in rich urban areas throughout the United States. They usually have a habit of correcting others grammar and oral language. They find themselves to be completely perfect at the language of English, and deny anybody correcting them if they do indeed happen to make a mistake. They can become extremely annoying over time and can even cause people to question they're sexuality preference.

A lot of so-called journalism today is literary masturbation where, instead of researching a subject and writing an informed and stimulating article, the writer has a wank-fest of verbal indulgence expressing their personal opinion. This is forgiveable in the very young who may be playing with language and style and have lived so shortly their lack of experience absolves them from such a waste of words. You have to make mistakes to learn. The real damage occurs when this behaviour lasts past college!
He's too lazy to engage with the subject so he just lays back and verbosely self-indulges - it's a shame, really, because he can string sentences together well; if only they had content....

Autobiography. - synonym
With the ever increasing interest in the "it's all about me" social media, it is only fitting that the written word evolve along with the instant digital imagery subject matter that brought us the word "selfie". Sadly though, as over-used as it is, most online auto-correction scripts still do not recognize "selfie" as a word.

Tell-all books and autobiographies written by a former celebrities are really nothing more than "Literary Selfies" of forgotten personalities.

Literary crack refers to books that are very, very addicting. While some claim to have fallen victim to LC from reading Harry Potter, the truest occurrence of LC is found from reading Twilight.
Just like crack, literary crack will screw your mind over in the end. Trust me, I suffer from it (from Twilight), and it's horrible. All you think about is the book, characters from the book, what the characters do in the book, ect. Basically, it consumes you.
From my own experiences, literary crack users need to read their book of choice at least once a week. They constantly quote the book, too. Fansites about the book are usually where they are, and they are very picky about details when it comes to the book.
If the book happens to be made into a movie, they love to spend their time criticizing the actors, released clips, and photographs. They won't enjoy the movie when it is released, and will complain about cut lines/scenes and added lines/scenes. After all, people on LC do know the book the best.
In serious cases of extreme LC use, they begin to have no life, and instead take it upon themselves to become someone from the book.
Although it may seem horrible to you, LC users are quite happy. It is only until the last book is released, that they go into a mental breakdown.

I've supplied literary crack to three people.
Twilight has dazzled girls across America, with each one spreading the literary crack to their friends.

The act of using unnecessary elaborate speech to convey a simple point, or speaking in a tone that would make you seem like a pompous dipshit.
I recently attended the line at the food product facility, at which I purchased a deliciously decadent three cheese lasagna and a bottle of Spumante.

A series novel which is poorly written and follows some formulaic structure which may or may not be predictable. Despite knowing that it sucks the reader will become addicted to the series and burn through every book as fast as possible.
If the next book in the series is unavailable the reader will go through withdraw like symptoms until the next book's release date wherein the reader will wrestle and scream and claw their way to the register to purchase said book.
