The Golden Notebook - Doris lessing

[Scheherazade]

Need to break the three-way tie!

[mona amon]

Oh dear, I voted for Biswas, thinking Dark Muse had voted for it. :blush5: So now we have a four way tie...

I should have looked more closely!

Haha didn't mean to trip you up.

[TheFifthElement]

Tie broken :D

Though The Golden Notebook is very, very good.

[Scheherazade]

I would be interested in reading any of these books, truth be told.

All sound like great reads.

And another tie just as I have ordered my copy of The Conservationist!

[neilgee]

I'm not ordering The Consevationist until the last minute, if it does win, because when I've read Nadine Gordimer before (not this one) I found her quite hard work (although I acknowledge that authors of her abilities can write very different books) and I've already started Mr Biswas and am loving that, so fingers crossed :)

[Scheherazade]

Going once...

[Scheherazade]

Going twice...

[neilgee]

So when is the Biswas thread starting, or where is it starting?
