I am not sure I'm going to be able to finish this book. "Sesquipedalian tergiversation" is a random selection of consecutive words to give you a sense of the vocabulary in this book 😳

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!
