Books I read in 2019

Here are the books I read in 2019; links go through to the posts I wrote about each one. I still haven’t finished Finnegans Wake (which I started in 2018), although I did write a little post about it for The Quietus. Also, I still need to finish The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. For the most important book of our generation, it could be a bit shorter!

Toy Fabels – Cass McCombs Jake’s Thing – Kingsley Amis The Topeka School – Ben Lerner American Primitive – Mary Oliver The Hawk in the Rain – Ted Hughes The Age of Surveillance Capitalism – Shoshana Zuboff The Crystal Prison – Robin Jarvis Waking Up in Toytown – John Burnside Childhood – Tove Ditlevsen Usborne’s World of the Unknown: Ghosts Lanny – Max Porter My Year of Rest and Relaxation – Ottessa Moshfegh Perfect Sound Whatever – James Acaster On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous – Ocean Vuong Selected Poems – Norman Nicholson Hark – Sam Lipsyte Sweet Sorrow – David Nicholls Trick Mirror – Jia Tolentino Plume – Will Wiles On Chapel Sands – Laura Cumming 81 Austerities – Sam Riviere Gunpowder – Bernard O’Donoghue Riddley Walker – Russell Hoban ‘Broadsword Calling Danny Boy’ – Geoff Dyer Surprisingly Down to Earth, and Very Funny – Limmy Out of the Woods – Luke Turner Social Creature – Tara Isabella Burton Exposure – Olivia Sudjic Folk – Zoe Gilbert Kingdomland – Rachael Allen The Woman in the Dunes – Kobo Abe Outline – Rachel Cusk The Built Moment – Lavinia Greenlaw Selected Poems – W. S. Graham The Adulterants – Joe Dunthorne Hera Lindsay Bird – Hera Lindsay Bird Fearless: The Making of Post-Rock – Jeanette Leech The Wasp Factory – Iain Banks

I particularly enjoyed Lanny, Trick Mirror, Plume and Limmy’s autobiography (although please listen to the audiobook). Riddley Walker is a book that will stay with me forever, and that I hope to return to again and again.

My Dad died this year, and reading poetry has been a great solace. As a tribute to Dad, I put together a commemorative booklet to send out to friends and family and included a number of our favourite poems. One of the poems was ‘Going Without Saying’ by Bernard O’Donoghue:

Going Without Saying

It is a great pity we don’t know When the dead are going to die So that, over a last companionable Drink, we could tell them How much we liked them.

Happy the man who, dying, can Place his hand on his heart and say: ‘At least I didn’t neglect to tell The thrush how beautifully she sings.’

Another poem I included was ‘The Butterfly House’ by Frank Ormsby, the inspiration for the cover (see above) which was designed by Louise Boulter. The poem ends:

… with luck you will emerge into the garden, badged and sleeved with butterflies, a thousand bright sails opening around you.

Yeast Infection Symptoms Vary From One Person To Another and Often Change As The Candida Infection Develops

Since each of us has:

1. Different candida infection severities 2. Different levels of immune strength 3. Different levels of healthy probiotics 4. Varying levels of stress 5. Several other individual factors that affect the ability of candida to multiply and to cause harm

The symptoms of candida infection vary from one person to another. Moreover, because candida develops in time and due to different genetic makeup, symptoms can change from one day to another in the same person. This is one of the reasons that one person can suffer from genital yeast infection and migraines and the other person with Candida yeast infection can experience rashes, allergies, oral thrush and chronic fatigue.

Yeast Infection No More Success Story..

"I'm already free from the itching and vaginal discharge and I look so great. The eczema on my left hand is gone and so quickly and the other one is clearing up very fast!"

"I'm a 37 year old female with mild, but very stubborn Yeast Infection, including skin rashes, vaginal burning and discharge. Since I'm constantly in contact with people, my skin problems, not only the constant itching but the rashes on both of my hands have had a huge effect on my emotional state at times and it can become very embarrassing! I found your program last month and started it immediately. I have followed all your recommendations to the tee as well as your warnings and restrictions and I'm already free from itching and vaginal discharge and I look so great. The eczema on my left hand is gone and so quickly and the other one is clearing up very fast! Candida yeast infection is a miserable condition that is frequently not diagnosed. I was glad that I found this informative and helpful book. It has become an excellent reference. I wish someone had given me this information years ago.

thanks ...for everything! " Michelle Austin (W. Virginia, USA)
