Wow - Jeanette's column this month is moving. Her dad just died and she speaks so beautifully about him. There were a couple of lines in there that caught my breath. Check it out: jeanettewinterson.com. (click on 'column' on te left.

Oh my god that was gorgeous. The writings and the sentiment. I love this:

"When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling."

I know, that was one of the two lines out of the whole great thing that made me catch my breath.

Have you read any of her? If you haven't, you MUST. My favorite book in the entire world was written by her.

I have also have her recommended highly by my friend Michelle. If you both speak so highly of her, I will have to read her. What is it that was your favorite of her books?

Written on the Body. Gut Symmetries is also really great.
