What reading level is The Blindman's World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All your knowledge, all your affections, all your interests, are rooted in the past, and on that account, as life lengthens, it strengthens its hold on you, and memory becomes a more preciouspossession. We, on the contrary, despise the past, and never dwell uponit. Memory with us, far from being the morbid and monstrous growth it iswith you, is scarcely more than a rudimentary faculty. We live whollyin the future and the present. What with foretaste and actual taste, ourexperiences, whether ple...asant or painful, are exhausted of interest bythe time they are past. The accumulated treasures of memory, which yourelinquish so painfully in death, we count no loss at all. Our mindsbeing fed wholly from the future, we think and feel only as weanticipate; and so, as the dying man's future contracts, there is lessand less about which he can occupy his thoughts. His interest in lifediminishes as the ideas which it suggests grow fewer, till at the lastdeath finds him with his mind a _tabula rasa_, as with you at birth.
