There is a lot of interesting vocabulary in the book I am reading, Technomancer. There are some words that I have never heard of or seen before, but once I do what they mean, I am able to use them in my own writing. For the most part, there are words in the book that are very common, but also add more meaning to the book. They emphasize the modern context of the book and help to describe certain situations.
The vocab that is used to describe certain scenes better helps to show the mood of the moment or conversation taking place. The new words that I find in the book make me more engaged in what I'm reading because it almost forces me to look up the meaning of the word in order to better understand what is happening. It engages me more in the book. Sometimes it makes me pay attention to pay attention to the context in order to fully understand the meaning of the word and what it adds to the sentence. It helps me to expand my vocabulary and helps me to use more elevated diction.
This post makes me want to take a better look at the vocab in my own book!
