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."

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.

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."
