What reading level is Chapters From a Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An editor will pass by an old writer any day for an unknown and gifted new one, with power to say a good thing in a fresh way. Make your calling and elec- tion sure. Do not flirt with your pen. Emer- son's phrase was, "toiling terribly. " Nothing less will hint at the grinding drudgery of a life spent in living "by your brains. " WAR-TIME: FIRST STORIES Inspiration is all very well ; but " genius is the infinite capacity for taking pains. " Living ? It is more likely to be dying by your pen ; d...espairing by your pen ; burying hope and heart and youch and courage in your ink-stand.
Unless you are prepared to work like a slave at his galley, for the toss-up chance of a free- dom which may be denied him when his work is done, do not write. There are some pleasant things about this way of spending a lifetime, but there are no easy ones.
There are privileges in it, but there are heart-ache, mortification, discouragement, and an eternal doubt.
Had one not better have made bread or picture-frames, run a motor, or invented a bicy- cle tire ?
