So words are exciting. These are some new words I've learnt in the last several books I've read. There are some old words here too, but they're good, and a few I needed reminding of to keep them fresh. Yay for English! Yay for Language! ^.^
Canorous
Euphony
Parochial
Parsimony
Diffident
Palimpsest
Sybaritic
Cortege
Puissant
Garrulous
Propinquity
Intenerant
Limpet
Quiescent
Tumescence
Russet
Insouciance
Dewlap
Torpid
Querulous
Suzerain
Impelled
Ecumenism
Peremptory

Limned
Coterie
Blandishment

Rushes
Mere
Havered

Knowing them is one thing: using them is another. Go vocabulary, go! Nothing inchoate, and no dross! No havering or querelous diffidence! Only an implacable, euphonic panoply of sybaritic language!
EDIT: the books these words are taken from, in order from most recent to oldest
Heretics of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
The Prince
The Hobbit
The Silmarillion
Moby Dick
