Doris Lessing received the Nobel Prize in literature this year. The only book I've ever read from her is the fifth child and I think I remember that it was somewhere around ninth grade, which means it was a very long time ago. I do remember that I did not like it very much, but perhaps it is time to give it another try now, when I am older and hopefully wiser.
The feminist in me thinks it is great that a woman got the honours this year. Lessing is only the eleventh woman to receive the prize (and it has been given out since 1901).

My recommendations: Hurry to the library and borrow something from her before everyone else gets the idea.
