To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When I can't deviate from the straight course of travel over land or over paper, I will go no more a-roving and I will write no more of roving, so here I digress and describe how I came to meet the richest man in Nikko. At the curiosity shop I picked out what I wanted, put my own value on the articles, and asked, " How much ? " " Twenty-seven yen. " " Too much ; I'll give you fifteen yen, and not a sen more. " The very sweet-faced little woman suffered a temporary loss of beauty and of balance.... Never mind. I stood upright enough, and she could take fifteen yen or nothing. After a lot of sighs and most fascinating blandishments to which I nearly fell a victim she agreed to take the fifteen yen, when in came her father, and she promptly withdrew her consent. Very well, let's talk about Nikko. Oh no, there was no money in talking about Nikko. The father was a keen lover of the books he sold, and honestly, I believe, he placed a far higher and better value upon rare old things than the money profit they brought him.
