I don't know where Marian is getting her brown rice from, but anytime I've made it I never had to soak it overnight in order to cook it in less than 30 minutes. My way is to wash and rinse the rice thoroughly, and then to cook it I use a rice to water ratio of one part rice to two parts water, with about 1 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil, some chopped onion, parsley, and chicken boullion. And it comes out fine every time.
