Discussing Doris Lessing online

This from one of my favourite book blogs, Jacket Copy.

The Institute of the Future of the Book in London is launching an online discussion of "The Golden Notebook," Doris Lessing's 1962 novel. Seven writers, critics and scholars -- all women -- will be making notes alongside the text, generating discussion among themselves there and on a blog. Other readers can add their voices in the comments on the blog and in a discussion forum.
Lessing and HarperCollins have agreed to put the text, in its entirety, online for the project, which is pretty cool. So the "alongside" notes really will appear next to the text on the website. Read the full piece at Jacket Copy here.
