I have not read Winterson but am inspired to after your blog today. You (and she) certainly "unfasten my mind".
So many nuggets in what you say about what think may be in that grab-bag. You're very good at analysing books and ideas.
I would include a Steinbeck --he evokes compassion in such beautiful writing, and if in end times I want compassion around me and from myself; a Tolstoy and Solzhenitsyn; a le Carre - probably "Smiley's People" - for sheer entertainment. Lots of good quality paper and pens for writing. And yes, good olive oil.

Another great read.
Thank you.
