associational literature

Stories that are written in a way that readers can make connections situations and characters and their own lives.

An example of this is Medicine River by Thomas King.

"Medicine River is associational literature."

hard literature

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."

Society Literature

When used by Jehovah’s Witnesses, refers to anything published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (or, “The Society” for short).

Antonym: Apostate Literature

Wouldn’t you prefer to read some society literature instead of that worldly novel?

GCSE English Literature

A GCSE (General Certificate of Education) that you can take in school. You will study a play and a book that your teacher will do his/her best to ruin by a.) forcing you to embarrassingly read them out loud in class, and b.) forcing you to over-analyze them whilst ignoring their immediate, aesthetic value.

But this is not always the case. If you are doing the foundation level (like I did) you will be thought of as too much of a retard to be able to read. Instead you will watch some pretentious film adaptation on an old TV not worthy to be shot at by a drugged-up Elvis Presley.

Either way, you will come away with an extremely negative view of classical literature. However, you may be lucky enough to rediscover it in later life and enjoy it properly.

GCSE English Literature Teacher: "So what can we see in Jessica's defiance of her father that is reminiscent of a 20th centry movement that has changed so much?"

Student: "Fascism?"

Urban-Edge Literature

1. A new genre of literature that features edgy, urban settings; hip, colorful characters; and the cool, razor-sharp language of the streets.
2. Also called "Edge Lit"

Coined by BP Masin, 12Sep03

The new field of "urban-edge literature" is a huge success not only with inner-city youth, but also with the whitebread kids of the 'burbs. It resonates strongly with the tone of today's youth: hip, edgy, vigorous. It's "two-dimensional hip-hop."
