Schedule for Discussions - The Golden Notebook

[Jim]

This is our planned reading and discussion schedule for Doris Lessing’s novel, The Golden Notebook. The original plan was to read this book over a six-week period, however Lessing organized her book in five parts, and so we will follow suit and split the book into five discussions.
