This means that it’s not exactly a fast read, but that’s not because the writing style is difficult to read it’s just dense with facts. Brown is clearly a historian, and this book is packed with footnotes (well, endnotes) and historical context. Immodest Acts is nowhere near as salacious as the title would have you believe. I ended up with Immodest Acts, which is probably a book I wouldn’t have chosen to be top of my reading pile, but I was delighted to get a chance to read, after it’s been languishing on my shelves for years! Anna M calls it “Reading Roulette”! This one has selected by numbering my unread shelves and having my roommate randomly choose a number, and then doing the same with some of the books on that shelf. Finally, I have finished school and caught up on my review copies! Which means that I have been able to select completely random things to read next. I always had a stack of school books and review books I had to get through first. Between being an English major (recently graduated!) and a book blogger, it has been years now since I’ve been able to just pick a book to read because I was in the mood for it.
