DORIS LESSING I

I found Doris Lessing’s Under My Skin: Volume One of My Autobiography, to 1949 in the Little Free Library just along the road from where I live. In this Little Free Library I find all sorts of books that I would never have found, that I would never have read. It is very exciting. When I finished the book I watched Doris Lessing being interviewed and she said that she loved when she got an idea for a book. That must have been very exciting. I love when I get an idea for a painting. I love seeing how it materializes—it has a life of its own. It is never how I expected it to be and that too is very exciting.
