Doris Lessing has died
She was a great writer, and the only winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature to have written sci-fi (I think) - Canopus in Argos: Archives was strangely excellent.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Re: Doris Lessing has died
I just checked her wiki page and although I was never introduced to her works, Any author that has been as successful as she is, will be terribly missed as the old schoolers pass through this phase of life.
RIP
