vacation read
Poolside paperback choice
A vacation read is a book chosen for leisure rather than edification—typically light, entertaining fiction that doesn't demand much concentration.
The term implies beach chairs, poolside lounging, or long flights: I picked up a few vacation reads for the trip.
The genre skews toward thrillers, romances, and breezy novels, though any book consumed purely for pleasure qualifies.
