What reading level is Four Years of Novel Reading An Account of An Experiment in Popularizing the Stu book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is to be found in the Puritanism which forbids absolutely certain pleasures, such as music and dancing, innocent in themselves, and only wrong when carried to excess, or prostituted to low uses. An illustration of it is to be found even now among a certain class of temper- ance advocates, who hold that to touch a drop of in- toxicating liquor is under all circumstances sinful. Such a system of thought is pernicious, not only be- cause it is in itself false, but because in history it has alwa...ys been known to produce violent reactions into the opposite extremes of vice and license. It is a demon which has been exorcised over and over again, but which is ever reappearing. Now, it is the asceti- cism which founds itself on principles such as these, which is bad. It makes a vain attempt to eradicate natural appetites and affections which are given to mankind for a certain purpose, and are only bad when uncontrolled and indulged under unlawful circum- stances. Christians who are misled into an asceticism of this type are false to their own principles ; for they forget that the God whom they serve created the body THE IDEAL OF ASCETICISM.
