Doris Lessing died today. She was an incredible writer. She was one of us.
I thought I had a link to a story of hers but I find it does not work. Too much larceny in my soul, I guess.
But here is a picture from Reno Bottoms today -

Oh...Reno Bottoms looks wonderful. I didn't get out for any walking this weekend due to my flu. No walking = no photos.
I read The Golden Notebook.

I actually read her in college... contemporary lit. Looking back at the list of books we read, i'm actually surprised they were so forward thinking.
Great photo.

Here's a great article about her:

That was a good article. There's a link worth following in the article, too---it's the story of how Lessing submitted a book to her publisher under a pseudonym, to see if she could be published as a first-time author. The book was rejected.

Hmm, the last part of that didn't turn blue, but the link still seems to work for me. If it doesn't for you, let me know.
