.lit is the file format used by the Microsoft e-reader program to read ebooks. The .epub format is an open standard for e-books created by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF).
Calibre is a free and open source e-book library management application "developed by users of e-books for users of e-books". It cannot (as far as I can see) directly read .LIT format but it has a built in converter which makes it easy to convert such files to another format. Get it here: http://calibre-ebook.com/download

On reading the FAQs further, I find that Calibre does claim that it can open .LIT format. It looks to be your ideal solution.

Oops..I forgot that I read ebooks in my mobile phone not in the computer, I haven't check the software yet 'coz I'm not in need of an ebook converter this time, and I don't know if it'll have features for mobile use as well. I guess I'm gonna stick with mjbook to make ebooks for a while, when I'm done procrastinating I guess. ^^

I've read ebooks in .lit file before, you have to download the Microsoft reader to be able to open those files. It's free anyway, and it's not too troublesome to download it because it's just a light file. But I'm not using it anymore, because I just use a converter to convert the files into .pdf, .txt or other document files. I don't need a software to convert it too, you might like to visit www.convertfiles.com for future circumstances. ^^

Calibre is the single program which will do all the conversion necessary and is a good e-book reader as well. It can also CREATE e-books in many formats.

Microsoft reader is the software which can help you. You can use this software to open lit format. I think it is free in some sites.

you probably have to install a special kind of reader through Microsoft you could type in lit reader on a browser and find a free one to download, it will then let you view such files. i hope this was helpful.
