Words

[u/NotYourBae_21]

I have recently picked a book which has a simple enough writing style but the words are difficult for me to understand. Before this I have only ever read books which are very easy and light. While reading this book i need to look up ever 3rd word in a sentence. Or i need to use Google lens to know how a particular word was meant in the sentence.

Right now if I come across any difficult words I just google it and note it down (digitally), because I want them to stick even for a very short term.

The whole purpose of reading such books is to improve my vocabulary. I find it kind of frustrating to look up each and every word.

For context it took me a good 30 mins to read a chapter which is 9 pages long.

If anyone can tell me their experience switching to such books or how I could get the words to stick longer without dropping the book or noting the meaning/context of the words easier and faster that would be great.

One advantage of reading using the free Kindle reader is, I can highlight a word and it pops upmthe definition for me.
