Carving Out The Eyes Of God - Goatwhore

Advantages: Beautifully written and ahead of its time
Disadvantages: None

...This book, although little known in this country, is something of a classic in America - covered in schools and universities as an example not just of first-rate literature, but held up as a forerunner to the black female writer of today. Zora Neale-Hurston was from a very different time to our own. First published in 1937, 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' was her second novel, and provides a snapshot of the burgeoning beginnings of free black towns - the struggle of a race to set itself up on an equal footing with the white man, while retaining a strong sense of its identity and origins. But more than that, this book is about women. How they live and love, and what they are worth.

...– lovely! I seemed to be allergic to something in the bath. It turned out that anything getting in my eye that contained any perfume would set me off, so this included shampoo, conditioner, or even the bath/shower water due to the bubble bath or shower gel. Other allergens for the eyes include pollen, house dust mites and pet hair which make the eyes itchy, red, sore, puffy and/or watery. I have only recently discovered that many of my allergic reactions is actually due to my eyes and not my nose and I discovered this when I started using Opticrom eye drops – my little miracle which has made my life so much better. The instructions in the box give a very good explanation about whether your irritated eyes are due to allergies. You probably have allergic eyes if: • Both eyes are affected • You have a runny...
