New Book

My next book is The Lost World. I believe it is a story about the discovery of a hidden crater filled with dinosaurs deep in a South American jungle. Sound like the kind of sci-fi/fantasy that I like.

Around 20 pages in, I can already tell this won't be an easy read. In Great Expectations, there were rather few words that I truly didn't know, and couldn't figure out from context clues. In The Lost World, however, i've already come across a good seven that I don't have the faintest idea what the definition is.

It kind of reminds me of a short story I once read where a scientist discovered a crater filled with a valuble gas, but falls into it, finding it slowly turns him to a statue. Unfortunatly, I don't remember the name, so I can't post a link.

  3. This sounds like a good book. I would want to read it if you weren't having so much trouble with it.

  4. The words don't really effect the story, they're mostly unnecessary.
