What reading level is Memories of Men And Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' The editor has to make a similar pronouncement, and to see that his staff puts it into practice. The pile of books, almost always considerable, and sometimes, as in the early spring, and in October and November, attaining huge dimensions, has to be cleared. A few books can be at once singled out for special notice. These are easily disposed of ; they are handed over to the man who is, or is supposed to be, best qualified to deal with them. The mass remains, containing, it may be, ten, twenty,... even thirty volumes. And they have to be read. I think that the charge that critics write about books which they have not read, though it has been formally brought by more than one writer of repute, may be dismissed, so far, at least, as any kind of censure is concerned. To say that an author is slovenly, ' and that he ' shows ignorance of elementary facts ' without having read his book, seems to me incredible. The man who does it runs a very serious risk, not to take conscience into account. A much more serious danger is that idleness or weariness will suggest a few words of undeserved praise.
