I'm with you bwaldron. I'm currently working my way through the first S.S. van Dine Omnibus (from Mobileread--Thanks HarryT) and it seems that I'm looking up at least one word in every chapter. As you said, some of his words have never made it to my repertoire; however, a lot of them were there years ago but have fallen away from disuse. Sometimes I feel like I'm studying for my SATs all over again!
