Current Words You Should Know and Use
When I read a novel, I expect to learn a minimum of one new word, or at least be reminded of words I know, or knew, that I no longer use in writing. The following are new and unused words I’ve written down from the last two books I’ve read. 

● ​scabrous (adj) = 1) Rough and covered with, or as if with, scabs. 2. Indecent,salacious

● prescient (adj) = having or showing knowledge of events before they take place; e.g. "a prescient warning".

● atavistic (adj) = relating to or characterized by reversion to something ancient or ancestral; e.g."atavistic fears and instincts

● prevaricate (verb) = speak or act in an evasive way.
 
● rapacious (adj) = aggressively greedy or grasping
