Most readers don't advance beyond a 10th grade reading level.

Not a single book from the top ten is read in tenth grade.

American schooling terminology. Wikipedia says it's kids 15-16 years old.

Was the voting only happening for like 1 hour? The fuck is this list? Ulysses at 12?

>>8117789
Very few people call it 10th grade though. The vast majority of Americans would call 10th grade "sophomore year."

reading level and educational level in america is a complete sham. In elementary school I supposedly had a college level reading ability only because I had slightly above average reading comprehension and could write coherent sentences. I was supposedly a critical thinker even though I had never learned about logical fallacies, cognitive biases, etc. American education as far as literature goes is being able to summarize and conclude one of a few correct answers that the teacher agrees with and accepts.
