What reading level is The Courage of the Commonplace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He sat in the big chair staring into the fire, in this small room far in the West, and thought about it. No, he could not have gone to her house-party — how could he ? He had thought, poor lunatic, that there was an unspoken word between them; that she was different to him from what she was to the others. Then she had failed him at the moment of need. He would not be taken back half-way, with the crowd. He could not. So he had civilly ignored the hand which she had held [42] THE COMMONPLACE out... several times, in several ways.
Hurt and proud, yet without conceit, he believed that she kept him at a distance, and he would not risk com- ing too near, and so stayed altogether away. It happens at times that a big, attractive, self-possessed man is se- cretly as shy, as fanciful, as the shyest girl — if he cares. Once and again in- deed the idea flashed into the mind of Johnny McLean — that perhaps she had been so sorry that she did not dare look at him. But he flung that aside with a savage half-laugh.
