What reading level is My Literary Passions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My day began about seven o'clock, in the printing-office, where it tookme till noon to do my task of so many thousand ems, say four or five. Then we had dinner, after the simple fashion of people who work withtheir hands for their dinners. In the afternoon I went back andcorrected the proof of the type I had set, and distributed my case forthe next day. At two or three o'clock I was free, and then I went homeand began my studies; or tried to write something; or read a book. We had supper at six..., and after that I rejoiced in literature, till Iwent to bed at ten or eleven. I cannot think of any time when I did notgo gladly to my books or manuscripts, when it was not a noble joy as wellas a high privilege. But it all ended as such a strain must, in the sort of break which wasnot yet known as nervous prostration. When I could not sleep after mystudies, and the sick headaches came oftener, and then days and weeks ofhypochondriacal misery, it was apparent I was not well; but that was notthe day of anxiety for such things, and if it was thought best that Ishould leave work and study for a while, it was not with the notion thatthe case was at all serious, or needed an uninterrupted cure.
