Doris Lessing's acceptance speech for her Nobel Prize for Literature
by noteworthy at 9:02 pm EST, Dec 11, 2007

Gold Star.

Last night Doris Lessing, aged 88, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In her acceptance speech she recalls her childhood in Africa and laments that children in Zimbabwe are starving for knowledge, while those in more privileged countries shun reading for the 'inanities' of the internet.

All done. I could take the rest of the month off now, to read.
