What reading level is The Golden Calves book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had had greater goals in the past, to be sure: a high court appointment, the Senate, even a fortune; but these had not and now would not be realized. His managing partnership in a middlesized law firm was all very well, but certainly no great shakes in the league to which he had aspired, and some people were always going to say he owed it to his father, as they had in the past no doubt said that his father had owed it to his. The Claveracks and their firm, specializing in the administration o...f the estates of prosperous New York burghers, went back to the eighteen forties, and Sidney had tended to think of his male forebears as gentle altar boys tending the constantly lit and relit candles of the new rich. But if he were ever to stand out from that dim, respectable line, there was only one way still open: to have revitalized, nay, to have remade—to have in fact created—a great cultural institution. That might not earn one the plaudits of the mob—never, it is true, to be despised—but it would surely merit the approval of a minority so esteemed for its discrimination as to become in due time the opinion of the many.
