I was recommended a true treasure from a friend, the website of the Nobelprize. Here you can listen to some of the literature winners’ interviews, biographies, acceptance speeches etc. It is very fascinating to hear what they have to say about their books and their writings. I really liked Portrait of Doris Lessing.

My recommendations: the fifth child by Doris Lessing

The Nobel Prize in literature 2007

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.
