What reading level is Horace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And not the least evil of the prevailing mania, then as now, was, that it robbed life of its simplicity, and of the homelyfriendliness on which so much of its pleasure depends. People livedfor show--to propitiate others, not to satisfy their own betterinstincts or their genuine convictions; and straining after the shadowof enjoyment, they let the reality slip from their grasp. They never"were, but always to be, blest. " It was the old story, which the worldis continually re-enacting, while the ...sage stands by, and marvels atits folly, and preaches what we call commonplaces, in a vain endeavourto modify or to prevent it. But the wisdom of life consists ofcommonplaces, which we should all be much the better for working intoour practice, instead of complacently sneering at them as platitudes. Horace abounds in commonplaces, and on no theme more than this. He hasno divine law of duty to appeal to, as we have--no assured hereafterto which he may point the minds of men; but he presses strongly hometheir folly, in so far as this world is concerned.
