I pick up Vuong's book every time I see it on a bookstore shelf.one of these days I'm going to actually buy & read it.īook Riot's list of the Best Books of 2019 includes Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski & Amelia Nagoski. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong made the Washington Post's Best Books of 2019. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist made the longer list and is on my to-read-soon list as well.Īs many others did, The Times Literary Supplement recommended The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells. I read Lerner's 10:04 a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Ben Lerner's third novel, The Topeka School, is on both lists and almost all of the others linked here as well. The NY Times has published two lists so far: The 10 Best Books of 2019 and 100 Notable Books of 2019 (I think their critics' picks are forthcoming). It's in this spirit that I went through a bunch of end-of-the-year books lists to pull out some of our collective favorite books of the year for 2019. But there are so many good books out there I couldn't get to, which is at once both panic-inducing (OMG, the endless bedside stack of books) and exciting (so much to look forward to reading). I made an effort to read more books in 2019 and mostly succeeded (I think).
