As you can see from the folder name, the readalong for Fall 2018 is The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing. It is the earliest book on my Goodreads TBR and I've included it in the voting a few times... this time I'm dictating! Sometimes books like this I will never read unless I read with a group.

So please find a copy in September, and we'll start reading the first week of October (technically September 30.) I'll post a reading schedule by then.

A few articles about the book (from it's 50th anniversary!):
The Guardian - 50 Years On
NPR - Fresh Air Remembers The Golden Notebook
LitHub - Reading The Golden Notebook During a Summer of Too Many Weddings

It's a beast in print too. This is where a readalong can help, or so my theory goes.

Wonderful, welcome! The size is a bit daunting but so far I've found the writing to be very conversational and readable.
