|author=Alan Bennett
|title=Keeping On Keeping On: Diaries 2005-2014
|rating=5
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=Alan Bennett's prose collections have been something to look forward to for years. They're a collection of excerpts from his diaries plus prose pieces of various lengths. I read ''Writing Home'' soon after publication - it was a Christmas present and I enjoyed it greatly, but it wasn't until I was deep into [[Untold Stories by Alan Bennett|Untold Stories]] that I realised the extent to which Bennett had been less than frank in ''Writing Home''. Bennett wrote ''Untold Stories'' in the knowledge that he had cancer and had only an even chance of survival: he assumed that his executors would make the decision as to what should be published. What ''was'' published - and by Bennett - was more open than the earlier work. ''Keeping On Keeping On'' follows and extends that trend.

|summary= As a psychiatrist, Karen is never too sure who or what will walk through her door, but the variety keeps it interesting, and her years of training and experience keep her on track even when a statement from a patient seems to throw her off course. It's hard sometimes, because she can't really talk about work at home, but her friends and partner are supportive even when she's not able to share the details with them.
