What reading level is My Life in Many States And in Foreign Lands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Travelers now go out in trolley- cars, eat ice-cream and drink champagne under the 209 MY LIFE IN MANY STATES shade of the pyramids, and a splendid hotel stands alongside the Sphinx.
In going up the pyramids it took three Arabs, two to push and one to pull, to get me to the top. When we got half-way up, an Arab wanted more bakshish. I talked to him pretty loud in some- thing he didn't understand, and he consented to take me farther. The top of the pyramid of Ghizeh has been taken away, and the ...pyramid is now about fifteen feet square at the summit. I made up my mind, the moment I saw the pyra- mids, that these gigantic blocks were not stone, but had been produced by one of the lost arts in preparing concrete. It occurred to me, as the pyramids were hollow to the base, that they had been storehouses for grain, and were not built as tombs for the Rameses and Ptolemies. Humane kings had built them, I thought, in order to employ labor in time of dearth.
As all travelers are told, it was said that a man would go down one pyramid and come up on another in so many minutes.
