I have difficulty gaging the "difficulty level" because I don't really differentiate. There are "books" and "easy books" but no "hard books" so...yeah. Length?

Ok, I don't really find any words hard ergo I cannot judge a difficulty level beyond "not incredibly easy." I notice if the writing is simply but once it reaches a certain level, I stopped guaging the level of writing entirely.

For some reason, I forgot to put "Naked in front of God both times. 0_o

Worldwar-Harry Turltedove-Alternate History- He is currently my favorite author and this is the first series I read by him. The ideas are great and the story is beautifully written.
Books: In the Balance Titlting the Balance Upsetting the Balance Striking the Balance
Synopsis of "In the Balance":
"From Pearl Harbor to panzers rolling throught Paris to the Siege of Leningrad and the Battle of Midway, war seethed across the planet as the flames of destruction rose higher and hotter.
And then, suddenly, the real enemy came.
The invaders seemed unstoppable, their technology far beyond human reach. And never before had men been so divided. For Jew to unite with Nazi, American with Japanese, and Russian with German was unthinkable.
But the alternative was even worse.
As the fate of the world hung in the balance, slowly, painfully, humankond took up the shocking challenge..."

Better books are
It-steven king-12th grade reading level- Great book, but over 1k pages long
The stand-steven king-same as above-one of, if not my favorite book of all time.
Pet cemetary-steven king-It was okay, but very interesting as it had necromancy.
