> It works just fine for fiction

how about some other well-known novels and their scores?



You can sort their list by reading ease: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks?page=21&per-page=48&sort=r...

A lot of John Stuart Mill and John Dewey


OK, I tried that. Among the hardest fiction:

Moll Flanders Tristram Shandy Gulliver's Travels Robinson Crusoe


The Sun Also Rises is easier than Winnie the Pooh. I can buy that.
