What reading level is Round My House Notes of Rural Life in France in Peace And War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same thing is done in a club when the members wish to make an honorary member particularly welcome on his occasional visits. I have often observed, too, that they will leave off a game which interests them if he does not join it, in order to make a circle round the fire to talk about something which interests him. Besides this, a theory was broached in our club, and for a long time steadily maintained in practice, that an honorary member ought to be entertained at the expense of the others;... that is, supplied with unlimited cigars and Strasburg beer, or whatever else it pleased him to accept. A club of this kind is, in fact, as its French name implies, a circle almost a sort of family circle. The talk is always good-humoured, and there is no end to it; but an Englishman's feeling after a while is, that it is a pity so much wit and insight cannot be ballasted with just a little more earnestness. The incessant laughing at everything, and at everybody celebrated enough to be talked about, is tiresome to an Englishman, who cannot help wondering how his French friends can live always on these champagne bubbles.
