Listening to audio books sometimes presents challenges. I don’t know how words are spelled. As regular readers know, I’m totally hooked on Scott Westerfeld right now and my new favorite word is perspicacious. I went to look it up even though it’s defined in Scott’s novel ‘Behemoth’. I wanted to know the actual definition. Unfortunately, all the pages I’m finding don’t seem to like to load for Apple, so I just grabbed what little I could find in the search results page. I’m sure I could dig deeper, but I have writing to do. So, according to the small blurb I found, perspicacious is having keen mental perception and understanding; discerning: to exhibit perspicacious judgment.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a fabricated beastie who is incredibly perspicacious? If you go read ‘Leviathan’ and then ‘Behemoth’, you will fall in love with a little perspicacious beastie. Perspicacious!
Yes, my brain is totally wrapped up in my novel right now so I’m a little silly.
Hahahah now you’ve got supercalifragilisticexpialadocious going around in my head…hope I spelled it right.
Nice! Hehe sounds right to me.
For some reason I still really struggle to sit down and listen to a good book like you can! I’ll keep trying.
Is it the getting used to listening to someone read the book? I find that the narrator can really make all the difference.
