What reading level is Horoscopes for the Dead book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They make you look very scholarly, I heard my mother say once I lay down on the ground and pressed an ear into the soft grass.
Then I rolled over and pressed my other ear to the ground, the ear my father likes to speak into, but he would say nothing, and I could not find a silence among the 100 Chinese silences that would fit the one that he created even though I was the one who had just made up the business of the 100 Chinese silences— the Silence of the Night Boat and the Silence of the Lotus,... cousin to the Silence of the Temple Bell only deeper and softer, like petals, at its farthest edges.
The Straightener Even as a boy I was a straightener.
On a long table near my window I kept a lantern, a spyglass, and my tomahawk.
Never tomahawk, lantern, and spyglass.
Always lantern, spyglass, tomahawk.
You could never tell when you would need them, but that was the order you would need them in.
On my desk: pencils at attention in a cup, foreign coins stacked by size, a photograph of my parents, and under the heavy green blotter, a note from a girl I was fond of.
