One night in college I started reading The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing and I could not put the book down until I completed it - it was disturbingly captivating. I am now reading another Lessing book - The Good Terrorist. With a title like that I was not surprised to see it was stamped as a Library Discard. It was written in the 70's and revolves around the hardships of the task of making a squatter house in the UK - legal housing. The usual stuff, dealing with neighbors who don't like you, the government and the physical labor of organizing the tenants to get the house up to speed.
