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?

I'm in Gemany and our English teacher made everybody read Shakespeare, Dickens and more in the original. I estimate at least 1/3 of our class had reached a C1/C2 level of English after 3 years of his class.
