What reading level is Suburban Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Walking for walking's sake I do not like. The diversion appears to me one of the most factitious of modern enjoyments; and I cannot help looking upon those who pace their five miles in the teeth of a north wind, and profess to come home all the live- lier and better for it, as guilty of a venial hypocrisy.
It is in nature that after such an exercise the bones should ache and the flesh tremble ; and I suspect that these harmless pretenders are all the whUe pay- ing a secret penalty for their bra...vado. With a pleasant end in view, or with cheerful companion- ship, walking is far from being the worst thing in life ; though doubtless a truly candid person must confess that he would rather ride under the same circumstances. Yet it is certain that some sort of recreation is necessary after a day spent within doors ; and one is really obliged nowadays to take a little walk instead of medicine ; for one's doctor is sure to have a mania on the subject, and there is no more getting pills or powders out of him for a slight indi- gestion than if they had all been shot away at the rebels during the war.
