Currently reading Blood Meridian. Is it bad if I have to turn to the dictionary at virtually every fricking paragraph? Does that make me a pleb? For example, I didn't know what a tanyard is. Do you? Am I supposed to know this? Is this normal, maybe even intended, or am I just an illiterate pleb?

looks like you've got your answer right there
yea
you're supposed to have an encyclopedic memory like Pynchn or Joyce if you want to actually read real literature
lmao m8 why are you letting young men with inferiority complexes who buy into the pleb/patrician mindset affect the way you think ?
