Frustration With Spanish Vocab

What do you do when the frustration hits? I  have bad days when I can't deal with, upon reading a Spanish Lit book, having to look up up one word after another, after another, after another...it's almost enough to make you give up. And I thought I had an very good Spanish vocabulary!

I am Enjoying My Slow Progress!

I am struggling through the reading in Spanish of Aunt Julia And The Scriptwriter (La Tía Julia Y El Escribidor) by Mario Vargas Llosa.  I'm enjoying it, though it gets a bit frustrating to come across word after word that I have to look up. I thought I had a pretty good Spanish vocabulary, But this can make one feel quite stupid!

Here is a great place to look up words online:
