What reading level is Damn a book of Calumny book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is it any won- der that the men one thus encounters in clubs are stupid and miserable creatures, and that they find their pleasure in such banal sports as playing cards, drinking highballs, shooting pool, and reading the barber-shop weeklies? . . . The day a man's mistress is married one always finds him at his club.
XXIII.
FIDELIS AD URNUM Despite the common belief of women to the contrary, fully 95 per cent, of all married men, at least in America, are faithful to their wives. This, however, ...is not due to virtue, but chiefly to lack of courage. It takes more in- itiative and daring to start up an extra-legal affair than most men are capable of. They look and they make plans, but that is as far as they get. Another salient cause of connubial rectitude is lack of means. A mistress costs a great deal more than a wife; in the open mar- ket of the world she can get more. It is only the rare man who can conceal enough of his income from his wife to pay for a morganatic affair. And most of the men clever enough to do this are too clever to be intrigued.
