"Mr. Midshipman Easy" by Frederick Marryat is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around Nicodemus Easy, a gentleman from Hampshire, who, after a lengthy marriage without children, becomes a philosopher advocating for the rights of man and equality, despite the comical chaos that ensues in his domestic life. At the start of the novel, we learn about Mr. Easy and his uncomplicated, yet amusing life with his wife, Mrs. Easy. Their household is marked by mutual respect and an odd arrangement, where Mr. Easy discusses his philosophical ideas, often to little recognition, and his wife engages in her activities without interruption. As the narrative unfolds, Mrs. Easy unexpectedly becomes pregnant after years of longing for children, which brings an exciting twist to their lives. Meanwhile, young Jack Easy, their son, is introduced as a spoiled child navigating the liberties of youth, setting up themes of parenting and morality that are explored through his humorous yet enlightening adventures.

Reading ease score: 73.8 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
