United stats
Well, this is entertaining. Amazon now lets you see the 100 most frequently used words in my book (as well as some other stats):
I'm thinking their word-counting program ignores the word "the" and its ilk. Also note that my rating on the Fog Index is ideal. Boo-yah!

Tom True, try two upon Vladimir. Want Williams work? Yes! Yet yourself!
Perhaps this piece should only be used when auditioing for the Salvador Dali made-for-TV movie special on Lifetime. I think I'm going to tell someone to go yet themselves today.

And Ulysses comes in at 9.0.
Neither of these, of course, is quite as difficult as Sonny Barger's Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger, at 9.5.
That order of difficulty is the same when measured by the (made-up?) "Flesch-Kincaid Index."
