ShitLit is a phrase coined by Mssrs Breeze and Fabric in early 2006.
It is essentially any book, normally found in the 'Humour' section of Waterstones or WH Smith, that is bought and placed in the downstairs lavatories of the middle classes.
The book has absolutely no merit save as a minor distraction whilst doing something necessary.
The book is written by a cynic to fund other more noble literary projects.
This blog could become such a tome if we could be bothered to publish, and were talented enough to write something decent.
Occasionally an author arises that is so cynical that he or she has no intention other than to infect the middle classes with mindless drivel for the sake of monetary gain.
Any book by Dan Brown falls into this category.
The children's ShitLit market has been cornered by J K Rowling.
