What reading level is Adventures Among Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He speaks of "the Squeamish love of the Beautiful" as ifthe love of the Beautiful were something unworthy of an able-bodiedcitizen. In some arts, as in painting and sculpture, his taste was veryfar from being at home, as his Italian journals especially prove. Inshort, he was an artist in a community for long most inartistic. Hecould not do what many of us find very difficult--he could not takeBeauty with gladness as it comes, neither shrinking from it as immoral, nor getting girlishly drunk upo...n it, in the aesthetic fashion, andscreaming over it in an intoxication of surprise. His tendency was to berather shy and afraid of Beauty, as a pleasant but not immaculatelyrespectable acquaintance. Or, perhaps, he was merely deferring to Anglo-Saxon public opinion.
Possibly he was trying to wean himself from himself, and from his owngenius, when he consorted with odd amateur socialists in farm-work, andwhen he mixed, at Concord, with the "queer, strangely-dressed, oddly-behaved mortals, most of whom took upon themselves to be importantagents of the world's destiny, yet were simple bores of a very intensewater.
