75.8.

So I guess this means...I should get plenty of reviews, because my stories are easy to read?  I'm not sure.

@Doll - I don't think the two are that linked, although I bet like a 4.2 would get you some low reviews.

@Howie - I might meant that you have to be in at least 5th grader to really understand Horsepower enough to get your mind warped by it.

I don't know... My last story got 5.5 grade level, which is fine... but so does the opening pages of Ulysses...

I am only heartened to this 'scale' by the fact that Cat in the Hat scores grade level -0.9 and some excerpts from Derrida's essays score 14.9

Oh, if I ran a school it would be. Right after they read some Charles Dickens.
