What reading level is Suspended Judgments, Essays On Books And Sensations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But for others, there is an exultant pleasure in this great hunt, with the deep-mouthed hounds of veracity and sincerity, after the authentic truth.
One touches here — in this question of the bru- tality of Guy de Maupassant — upon a very deep matter; the matter namely of what our pleasure exactly consists, as we watch, in one of his more savage stories, the flesh of the world's truth thus clawed at.
I think it is a pleasure composed of several dif- ferent elements. The first of these is that d
...eep and curious satisfaction which we derive from the exhibition in art of the essential grossness and unscrupulousness of life. We revenge our- selves in this way upon what makes us suffer.
The clear presentation of an outrage, of an in- 156 GUY DE MAUPASSANT suit, of an indecency, is in itself a sort of vengeance upon the power that wrought it, and though it may sound ridiculous enough to speak of being avenged upon Nature, still the basic in- stinct is there, and we can, if we will, personify the immense malignity of things, and fancy that we are striking back at the gods and causing the gods some degree of perturbation ; at least letting them know that we are not deceived by the illu- sions they dole out to us !
