Reading The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. Life has been pretty busy lately, so this one is taking quite a while to finish.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

Listening to Sexual Politics (1969) by Kate Millett.

There's a part in chapter 2 (her theory of sexual politics) that, essentially, encapsulates the wedge we are witnessing now, 55 years later.

It's wild that concepts and the attendant issues of sex, sexuality, gender, patriarchy, and human rights were so clearly described in the late 60s.

I felt something similar about reading some parts of 1984.

Will look it up.
