What reading level is Mr Palomar (Vintage Classics) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is not a place where a lawn should exist naturally: so the lawn is an artificial object, composed from natural objects, namely grasses. The lawn’s purpose is to represent nature, and this representation occurs as the substitution of the nature proper to the area with a nature in itself natural but artificial for this area. In other words, it costs money: the lawn requires expense and endless labor to sow it, water it, fertilize it, weed it, mow it.
The lawn is composed of dicondra, darnel a...nd clover. This mixture, in equal parts, was scattered over the ground at sowing time. The dicondra, dwarfed and creeping, promptly got the upper hand: its carpet of soft little round leaves spreads everywhere, pleasing to the foot and to the eye. But the lawn is given its thickness by the sharp spears of darnel, if they are not too sparse and if you do not allow them to grow too much before cutting them. The clover sprouts irregularly, some clumps here, nothing there, and farther on, a whole sea of it; it grows exuberantly until it slumps, because the helix of the leaf becomes top-heavy and bends the tender stalk.
