2. Still reading "Women on the Move" by Roger Giles.

It is very exciting and eye opening. I think every man should read it to learn that there is such a thing as male privilege and read about Major Taylor to learn about White privilege. All women should read it to take courage from these stalwart women in the 1890s and early 20th century. All of us, men and women owe a lot to them and need to keep the movements they began alive and moving.

I would be through with it but I could stand not knowing what was to happen in Let it Bleed by Ian Rankin. I still don't understand, I thought I had read this book before but the only part that is familiar is a car crash scene in the 1st Chapter. The story is great. The only thing is that John Rebus does something reprehensible to this cat lover. Perhaps I'll forgive him one day.
