Doris Lessing: A Hunger for Books

The Guardian has the text of Doris Lessing's speech on accepting the Nobel prize in Literature.

"Last night Doris Lessing, aged 88, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In her acceptance speech she recalls her childhood in Africa and laments that children in Zimbabwe are starving for knowledge, while those in more privileged countries shun reading for the 'inanities' of the internet"
