<p>Here's what I've got so far:</p>

<p>One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wuthering Heights
LOTR
Harry Potter
Anna Karenin[a]
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
Ishmael
A Tale of Two Cities and anything else by Charles Dickens
Last of the Mohicans
Scarlet Letter
Heart of Darkness
Far from the Madding Crowd
Tess of the d'Ubervilles
Frankenstein
Jane Eyre
The Brothers Karamazov</p>

<p>Can you list other challenging books that may improve vocabulary?</p>

<p>Books in the Ender’s Game series?.. They do have some challenging words, although I’m not sure that they’re on the SAT.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if anyone else agrees, but I found a number of SAT/difficult words in Catch-22.</p>

<p>Maybe read the “SAT Novels” by Sparknotes</p>

<p>[SparkNotes:</a> SAT Novels](<a href=“http://www.sparknotes.com/satfiction/]SparkNotes:”>http://www.sparknotes.com/satfiction/) they are free online, or you can buy them</p>

<p>They are just fiction novels that include a lot of SAT vocab. supposed to be fun! hope it helps</p>

<p>those look cool! i hope the vocab doesn’t seem dramatically forced!</p>

<p>Try The Wheel of Time. Jordan is known for his (some think overly) descriptive language.</p>

<p>Plus it’s an awesome series.</p>

<p>I’m reading one of the Sparknotes vocab novels, and it seems OK. Some of the vocab is a bit forced, but it is nice how you can just mouse over the words to see what the word means. So much less distracting than toggling back and forth between a book and the dictionary.</p>

<p>In my experience with those Spark notes novels, the vocab is pretty forced. I’m not sure how well it will work for you, but I only picked up a few of the words that I did not know. A majority of the words are pretty simple though (i.e. “universal”)</p>

<p>Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov has a lot of SAT words.</p>

<p>Frankenstein worked pretty well for me, but I would not pick books just because they have massive vocab. I would try to find a book that interests you while challenging your vocab.</p>
