What reading level is My Brother Evelyn & Other Profiles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I belong to four clubs in London, and two in New York; in addition I have several dining clubs. In London none has mattered to me more than Ye Sette of Odde Volumes. Founded in the 1870s by the bookseller, Bernard Quaritch, who grew tired of paying for his friends’ meals and decided that by forming them into a club he could ensure that his intimates became self-supporting, the Sette is, I believe, the oldest dining club in London. Bookish in its inception somewhat in the trade sense of the word,... the rules and ritual suggest a Mason’s handiwork. There are elaborate initiation and inauguration ceremonies. The members wear badges, and the officers assume chains of office. The master of ceremonies carries a seven-foot silver and ebony wand. Until very recently full evening dress was worn. In fact, almost the only times since the war when I have worn white tie and tails have been at the Odde Volumes. Each member has a special cognomen and is known and addressed as Brother Idler, Brother Spectator, or Corinthian.
