I am quite good with vocabulary when I want to be and I am not too lazy. When I was in 6th grade(or 5th, hard to remember that far back) I was reading an uncut copy of the Three Musketeers(Had over 1400 pages). Also when I was young I read Hunt For The Red October, and I always get a A or a high B in English class, in the more advanced english classes.
Just, for your information.

Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...
