What reading level is A Frenchman in America Recollections of Men And Things book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I don't want to dine ; I should like to have a cup of tea." He frowned a little more, and deigned to hear my request to the end.
" Can I ? " I repeated.
He spoke not ; he brought his eyebrows still lower down, and solemnly shook his head.
"Can't I really?" I continued.
At last he spoke.
" You can," quoth he, " for a dollar." And, taking the bill of fare in his hands, without wasting any more of his precious utterances, he pointed out to me : " Each meal one dollar." The argument was unanswera...ble.
I went back to my own car, resumed my seat, and betook myself to reflection.

the fact of his having paid five dollars extra to enjoy the extra luxury of this famous vestibule train.
