What reading level is Walking Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Friendliness and good fellow- ship are all very well, but they do not necessarily imply a strict execution of social duties. The real charge against walkers is not that they are unfriendly to each other, but that they fail in their duties to other people. They go walks, especially on 148 WALKING AS A SOCIAL FORM Sunday, when they ought to be paying calls ; they smoke in chairs when they ought to be in evening dress ; they are in bed and sometimes even out of bed again when they ought to be danc...ing. In short, they do not take their fair share in maintaining the existing social forms ; hence they are rightly called unsociable.
Before a jury this general accusation could be rolled back in confusion : there are plenty of walkers who are punctilious in social observances, and plenty of social recalcitrants who are not walkers. But in that heart of hearts which lies beyond the reach of juries, we cannot escape an uneasy feeling that there is something in the accusation. Most walkers at some time or another must have been conscious of the tug of conflicting duties, must have felt that there was a choice between going a walk and paying a call, between going out at night and being in good condition next day, and that while fulfilling a need of their natures in walking they were neglecting something else which either was or was thought to be a duty.
