What reading level is The Pleasure of Reading book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Timon, I see let loose an un- bridled rage against the falseness and the sycophancy in the world experienced by a man who was " of a free and open nature. " In King Lear I meet the trust- ful Shakespeare and the lover Shake- speare, made mad by the world's ingrati- tude, by the evil in it, by the wretchedness and misery in it, by the terrible suffer- ing in it. His heart is so filled with mixed feelings of compassion and rage that the tears from his eyes scald him like molten lead. Even a wo...man's love comes too late for him. The voice that " was ever soft, gentle and low " also goes " into the wastes of time. " Shakespeare saved himself from any one of the catastrophes he pictures, by [185] THE PLEASURE OF the qualities of his nature in particular by his poetic genius. What he might have done without this genius, we may read in the biographies of the world's lesser men who were also finely touched. Shakespeare's genius sent him working with the stuff of his experience and self- knowledge into forms of art, so that he objectified his passions as poems of trag- edy.
