Ulysses doesn't have a bunch of obscure words as far as I can remember

The Name of the Rose is the one I most recall with obscure archaic words

voca-bulary

the penis as a kind of organ
a Voca-Bule could be a kind of tube-ular vocalizer, if it spoke in spermatic spams

Lolita.

>words that i'll be seeing for the first time
Most of the books Nabokov wrote in English
David Foster Wallace (of Infinite Jest fame) if you don't know any latin languages and are scientifically illiterate
Gene Wolfe if you don't know any latin
>>
>>8998820
Book of the New Sun.

Gene Wolfe makes up a lot of words in the story (it's actually supposed to be a translation, thus the made up words are ones that couldn't be translated). The made up words can get a bit frustrating, though, if you're impatient. You really can't (and shouldn't) rush through Wolfe.

Blood meridian

>>8998820
The Hungry Caterpillar (Albanian translation).
>>
Finnegans Wake
>>
Darconville's Cat is terricrepantly confusticating.
John Barth, Cormac McCarthy, Nabokov, Ronald Firbank to an extent.

Sorry brother the accusations of pleb might fly those words are real.
