Favourite book in 1971 Pepys diaries dominate list
A literary editor asked for a year end list and I write for the ordinary reader while privately savoring my own tastes. My top pick is The Diary of Samuel Pepys volumes edited by Latham and Matthews, a lifelong Pepys fan’s gift to myself. My fiction pick is Them by Joyce Carol Oates, which won the National Book Award.

Favourite books of a reviewer 1937 and 1967
The reviewer highlights novels and authors across fiction, poetry, biographies, and criticism. Notable mentions include James Purdy’s Jeremy's Version, Bulgakov's The White Guard, Borges’s The Aleph and Other Stories, Lowell's Notebook, Gunn's Moly, and McAuley and Wright's collected poems. Biographies gain praise, especially Johnson's Sir Walter Scott, with Australia studies by Moore and Cannon. The piece recommends Who's Master Who's Man as a potential Christmas gift for wider audiences.

The Nun's Story and the convent walls of love
Fragmentary OCR hints at Kathryn’s “The Nun's Story” and a convent setting with characters facing personal crises and old-fashioned virtues. The text reads unclear about plot points, but suggests a narrative of love, duty, and moral testing within a religious order.
