Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-08 00:00:00 Russ Hubler Don't bother. Browne had the penchant for circuitous writing - clarity was not his intent. He multiplied words beyond endurance to such an extent that the reader must pause after each sentence to wonder what had just been read. Brevity was unknown to him. And he had a heightened awareness of things mundane. A convoluted style aimed at emphasizing his outstanding virtue at every turn, Browne may not have known he was such an egoist. How his writing ever made a "favorite list" or "most influential book list" is beyond me.
