I don't know, man. Reading comprehension is a comparative skill, not an absolute one. It really depends on what you're used to.

But yeah -- I find myself scratching my head all the time when people say stuff like this. I know that its all relative, but my problem tends to be that I have no idea what they're referring to when they say the writing is flowery or hard or whatever. Like, point me to an example, please?

Tolkien is like that for me. So people think Tolkien's writing style is difficult to read? Okay, sure, I believe them when they say so. If you say it's difficult, I'm not going to scoff. but it makes me go "but...why? Where? How? Can you show me some of these so-called hard parts? Can you explain why they're hard?" *shrugs*

And Doyle...hee. Read Doyle after you've been reading Oscar I-can-write-an-entire-chapter-in-nothing-but-passive-exposition Wilde all day and then tell me Doyle's flowery. Go on. I dare you. ;)

I think that's it, really. It's all relative. I have no problems getting through Tolkien (though I think his prose is a little bit on the dry side compared to ACD) and ACD is no problem. But I can't stand Dickens or Herman Melville. They're not beyond my understanding in terms of reading difficulty, I just don't find their works to be worth it.

My two favorite Victorian writers are Oscar Wilde and Conan Doyle. I've been reading the Holmes books since i was in grade school (the original, not the dumbed down versions for kids.)
