What reading level is The Gentle Reader book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He need fear no such exclusion. My Lady Igno- rance is gracious and often bestows her choicest gifts on those who scorn her. The most erudite person is intelligent only in spots. Browning's Bishop Blougram questioned whether he should be called a skeptic or believer, seeing that he could only exchange " a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt : We called the chess-board white, we call it black. " 140 THE HONORABLE POINTS OF IGNORANCE Whether a person thinks o...f his own intellectual state as one of knowledge diversified by igno- rance or one of ignorance diversified by know- ledge is a matter of temperament. We like, him better when he frankly calls his intellectual chess-board black. That, at any rate, was the original color, the white is an afterthought.
Let me, then, without suspicion of treasonable intent, be allowed to point out what we may call in Shakespearean phrase "the honorable points of ignorance. " The social law against "talking shop" is an indication of the very widespread opinion that the exhibition of unmitigated knowledge is un- seemly, outside of business hours.
