So Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Prize in LIterature. Huh. I was sort of thinking they'd go for a poet this year, and hoping they'd go for Margaret Atwood (out of the names that are often discussed as potential winners). Anyway, I don't really know Lessing's work. Would you recommend it, or not? Thoughts on this prize?
