Mickie’s Reviews > Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water > Status Update

I've read barely more than 10 pages since my last update and the vocabulary I am encountering has me stopping to look up a word every other paragraph! Some of those words:

Sesquipedalian
Tergiversation
Prognathous
Extemporaneously
Escutcheon
Putrescent
Avaricious
Dotage
Mendacious
Palaver
Mollify
Bellicosely
Moribund

This is a dense book and it's going to take me a while to get through it!
