Didn't J.K. Rowling do this with Harry Potter? She wrote the first book with simple words and slowly upped the difficulty every installment. Being a teacher for developmentally disabled kids, she knew that some of the books they were being forced to read were like throwing new swimmers into the deepend.

Man I could have used this when reading Ulysses in college…

I've tried listening to the audiobook because I typically enjoy classical literature but I feel like I need to be a literature major in university to understand sometimes. There's just non-stop references to other literature works within it that I'm not familiar with so I think a lot of what makes it so good is lost on me

When people judge this, can they please consider those for whom English is not a first language?

As if dumb people will read once we simplify the language

I feel like I might like this. I'm an idiot and sometimes struggle to maintain attention reading. So give me a short sentence direct to the point and I'm good to go.

Mean while all my comments are novels with 3rd grade grammar and spelling
