What reading level is London Films book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man's nationality is something he is justly proud of, but not till it is put aside can the man of another nation have any joyof him humanly, spiritually. If you insist upon talking to the Englishabout American things, you have them in an unknown world, a reallyunknowable world, as you yourself know it; and you bewilder and wearythem, unless they are studying Americanism, and then they still do notunderstand you. You are speaking English, but the meaning is a strangetongue.
I say again that I ...do not know why any one should wish to be caressedfor his nationality. I think one might more self-respectfully wish to beliked for one's self than joined with a hundred million compatriots, andloved in the lump. If the English, however, are now trying to love usnationally we should be careful not to tax their affections too heavily, or demand too much of them. We must remember that they are more apt tobe deceived by our likeness to themselves than by our unlikeness. Whenan Englishman and an American meet on common ground they have arrivedfrom opposite poles.
