Hello everyone,
I'm on a focused journey to expand and refine my vocabulary—not just to learn new words, but to use them with greater precision and elegance in both writing and conversation.
I’m especially interested in books that offer more than rote word lists. Ideally, I’d like recommendations that help contextualize vocabulary in actual usage—through prose, essays, etymological insights, or rhetorical exploration. Whether it’s a classic like The Elements of Style, a modern work on linguistics, or even a novel known for its rich diction, I’m open.
For context, I already read regularly and enjoy long-form writing. I’m not looking for “quick fixes” or prep guides, but rather thoughtful works that help build intuitive, layered command of language over time.
Appreciate any suggestions!
