beach reading
Light summer novel
Beach reading is light, undemanding literature meant for vacation or leisure—the kind of book you can pick up and put down without losing the thread.
The term suggests entertainment over enrichment: thrillers, romance novels, celebrity memoirs.
I packed a couple of beach reads for the trip.
The beach is incidental; the point is escapism without intellectual effort.
