Hi everyone
I am trying to improve my verbal, by reading novels. However, there come certain sentences which are difficult to understand, and can make even an interesting read boring.
Such as following sentences in Liar's poker:-
1. Bond people pose the same problem to a cultural anthropologist as a nonliterate tribe deep in the Amazon. = so are bond traders too difficult to understand just as are the tribals?
2. There are 287 books about bonds in the New York Public Library, and most of them are about chemistry - How can most of them (287 bond books) be about chemistry?
I am a kind of person who likes to understand every line. May be this is a wrong approach and one has to take idea and move ahead. However, still, is there any site for this? How interesting it would become!

That is a very interesting question. I'm not aware of any sites that would "decode" the english, but you could try Google translate if English is a second language for you.
You did pose a better question: "I am a kind of person who likes to understand every line. May be this is a wrong approach and one has to take idea and move ahead." Yes- this approach will cost you on the GMAT because everyone hits lines in passages that they can't understand. You have to use the surrounding context to make sense of the sentence. More than likely, the confusing sentence will be buried in a paragraph and you don't have to understand it completely so long as you understand the main point of the paragraph.
