What reading level is St Nicotine of the Peace Pipe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides, may not other influences tending to modify the character of the Turks be found in their four centuries of intermarriage with tribes of a less turbulent disposition, as with Persians and Circassians, than the fiery, stubborn mountaineers from whom they had descended? It seems but reasonable to think so. Let us hasten, however, to note that other distinguished travellers in Turkey speak to the same effect, and that they, too, attri- bute the change to the sobering and soothing action of ...tobacco upon them. Dr. Madden, whose Travels in Turkey and Egypt were published in 1829, says (i. 16) that the pleasure the Turks had in the reverie consequent on the indulgence in the pipe consisted in a contemporary annihila- tion of thought. The people really cease to think when they have been long smoking. I have asked Turks repeatedly what they have been thinking of during their long reveries, and they replied ' Of nothing. ' I could not remind them of a single idea having occupied their minds ; and in the con- sideration of the Turkish character there is no more curious circumstance connected with their moral condition.
