Firing up my next fiction book. A short one but looks a good one.

Fun new vocabulary time:

Oleaginous: adj
1. rich in, covered with, or producing oil; oily or greasy
2. exaggerated and distastefully complimentary; obsequious

"I struggled to raise my head, which could easily have snapped off, and looked into the candlelight, where I saw Lord Yama, underworld judges seated beside him, oleaginous smiles on their faces."

-- Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out by Mo Yan
