I read Against Dharma: Dissent in the Ancient Indian Sciences of Sex and Politics, by Wendy Doniger on Friday night because I was bored and it seemed like a light reading. It was a pretty easy read (compared to Hiltebeitel and co.) and with the context of her other works, it went by super quick. Picked a couple (dozen) super useful references from it to continue my hindu mythology education as well. Loved the book, I always love her writing anyway, and love everything about it. Need to send email to her one of them days appreciating the immense work she's put in the field. She's one of the more incredible researchers in the field, has never let the circumstances diminish her spirit.
