Doris Lessing wins the Nobel Prize for Literature (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071011/ap_on_en_ot/nobel_literature;_ylt=ApxQ0gHmIK8BRslJQIgwpe2s0NUE ).

I haven't read any of her stuff. Any thoughts from those of you who have read her work?

There was a time when The Golden Notebook was required reading in feminist circles; I read it around that time. Also read a later book, but the title escapes me.

IMO she definitely deserves the award, and about time too.
