ITT: Books that use fancy words

I like these books because they expand your vocabulary. My suggestion goes to, of course, Gene Wolfe.

Clark Ashton Smtih

Beckett’s early stuff written in English has me reaching for a dictionary often. Murphy is fun.

lotsa will self
he's pretty much know for his sesquipedalianism

Coming from a non English speaking country, I have to agree with you, OP. I've read 'harder' books but I constantly had to stop my reading to learn a word or two with this book.

Virginia Woolf

Blood Meridian

>BoTNS
great first suggestion tbph. it's what i would have said
instead, i will say Moby Dick

>expanding your vocabulary with made up words

>Being such a word babby that you think any of those words are made up, with the exception of "naviscaput" which maybe he did make up after all
I nominate Austerlitz
