A form of literature and writing. Short, staccato sentences that the author seems to have put to paper right after thinking them are characteristic for this type of writing. The writing seems to have a certain "beat" to it. It's most famous authors are Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson.
Dharma Bums by Kerouac is THE best beat literature out there.

A fucking retarded thing that asshole teachers make you do because they think it's "educational". These teachers are retards and can't find and difference between left and write. These teachers are the teachers that mark you down a letter grade for being a dude and mark you up a letter grade for being a chick. The literature circle involves a compilation of losers sitting in a circle discussing a bunch of bullshit about a book that you read. Plus to make things shittier, you have to fill out faggy forms for each literature circle your group of losers does.
Teacher: We are going to be doing literature circles! Yayy!

Chick: Im sooo happy!

Dude: What are you guys faggy losers? Literature circles are a bunch of BS that don't teach you anything.

Any piece of literature that is very addictive, keeping the reader from putting it down. It can also make the reader immediately want to buy the next volume in a series, if more exist.
"My friend loaned me the first books in the Transmetropolitan series and the Preacher series; they're so friggin' cool, I need to read more!"

"I know, that's some hard literature."
