I'm a big fan of Jeanette Winterson's work. She just redid her website (well, I imagine her people just redid the website). In any case, she wrote a nice journal entry in this month's newsletter about books and their ability to rejuveniate.
If you haven't read any of her books, start with Written on The Body.

Interesting article. I like the idea of using books as oracles. You could really do that with just about any book, I think. It need not be spiritual in subject matter. (Bill the Galactic Hero, anyone?)
As a philosophical aside, I'd have to disagree that life is worth nothing if it is not worth everything. Life, like everything else, is always worth *something*, even if it is not worth everything. There are no absolutes in life, so there's no reason the value of it should be an absolute.
Good link.
