What reading level is The Amateur Spirit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Until the psychology of mobs is better compre hended, there will be no understanding the ways of " faculty action. " Even when we shall have learned that the normal powers of the two or three dozen men are under some strange para lyzing inhibition, shall we be able to explain why the inhibition should proceed from the most thick-headed man in the room ?
To these gentlemen who grow old in the shel- 84 THE AMATEUR SPIRIT tered academic life, a thousand whimsicalities and petty formalities attach ...themselves, like bar nacles to the bottom of a ship long at anchor. No man can teach ten years and escape them. Unbeknown to himself he is already on the way to becoming a " character, " and people are smiling at him in their sleeves. If he finds him self at a reception, he buttonholes a colleague and talks shop. The habit of addressing boys, without contradiction, leaves him often impotent in the sharp give-and-take of talk with men, and many a professor who is eloquent in his class room is helpless on the street, or in the club, or across the dinner-table.
