What reading level is Thoreau book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many years ago, I found in a vol- ume of sermons the expression, "one world at a time," quoted and harshly criticized as embodying a sentiment unworthy and unbecoming a man whose interests were supposed to ex- tend beyond the limits of this stage of existence. I will here add — what I have since learned — that the writer of this criticism had no knowledge of the fact that he was quoting the words of Thoreau. A superficial reading might convey the idea that what was meant was simply a thought- l...ess acceptance of present good — "Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we die." As uttered by one the spirituality of whose nature was a marked characteristic, "one world at a time" may be translated into the higher language of "Take therefore no thought for the mor- row" . . . "If God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of Uttle faith ?" He who in his last moments de- sired to have eliminated from his manuscripts everything "that tended to mirthfulness, as not becoming the deep seriousness with which he viewed life," must have had larger interests, deeper affections, nobler as- pirations than those which bound him to earth.
