A forgettable book that one reads when stuck at a beach house on a rainy day. Although the word comes from the proper name "John Grisham" (modern writer), it now applies to any modern, easily-digestible, forgettable paperback book. Since the titles of such books are equally forgettable, it is easiest to refer to them simply as "a grisham".
