What reading level is An Open Letter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I did not want a golden throne in any lonely star, I only wanted to be left where loving people are.
I wanted just the smiles and hands that waved me out of sight, As we slipped beyond the station, to the tunnel and the night.
II.
At dawn I saw the dying moon get up as we went by, And the yellow autumn larches standing cold against the sky.
And a shanty in a clearing, all desolate and lone, As if the chill of morning had struck it to the bone.
Then a line of split rail fences, a lift of rugged ...hills ; And so into the great North woods I took my puny ills.
III.
On a porch that faced the morning, in a blanket on a chair, I came into my fortune as they left me lying there, — When Adam lay in Eden and looked upon the sky, He was master of a leisure no more absolute than I.
Here was the earth, — all bleak and bare, with winter coming on, A grim untempting battle-field for a soul's Mara- thon.
This was the selfsame earth which gave the shining April flowers, The thrush's flute at twilight, and the tranquil sum- mer hours; Now dour and taciturn and hard, yet standing by to aid The dauntless spirit that must prove of what stuff it is made.
