The Human Season, by Edward Lewis Wallant. With uncommon insight and accuracy, the author writes of an aging plumber's descent into hell after the death of his wife.

The Sot-Weed Factor, by John Earth. The hero of this bawdy, ironic, hilarious and yet thoroughly serious comedy is a 17th century coffeehouse Candide who stumbles through a series of wild misadventures before he understands his great sin: he is guilty of innocence.

Taken at the Flood, by John Gunther. An entertaining if perhaps excessively appreciative biography of Pioneer Adman Albert Lasker, the genius personally responsible for tattooing such blather as "That Schoolgirl Complexion" on the American consciousness.

Decision at Trafalgar, by Dudley Pope. Best of the current blood-in-the-scuppers accounts of Trafalgar, and of its scrawny, one-eyed, one-armed, vainglorious hero, Lord Nelson.
