What reading level would you say these writers write at?
College level, Sophomore (High School) level....what?
like, I'm pretty sure that about 99% of fifth graders wouldn't be able to read and understand 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, so i know its above a fifth grade reading level.

Personally, I think Charles Dickens would be high school level for most people. However, Oliver Twist (for instance) could be understood by children who are as young as twelve if they are advanced readers with good vocabularies.
According to Amazon, the reading age for Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is 9 to 12. I would think at the lower end of that scale, most would miss subtle nuances of the story.

My personal opinion . . .
I read many of Jules Verne's books in fifth and sixth grade and understood them at the time. Though I have re-read a few recently and understood them better.
Dickens? I read some of his works in 10th grade, which seems about right.

Well, since they didn't have this weird conformist "reading level" concept back then, they weren't.
