waiting line fiction
Low brow, formulaic fiction novels usually only found in grocery stores and drug stores. The only time they do get noticed/purchased is when the individual is forced to wait in line for a long time.
With titles like "No Escape" and "The Final Surrender," Bob figured both novels had to be good...after standing in line for 20 minutes. He only realized what he had when he got home; the novels were both waiting line fiction.
