“Your bumper guide to the unmissable music, shows, films and more in the year ahead”, announces the front of your G2 print section (3 January), heralding your 2022 culture preview articles. I have a family and a job; there’s already a pile of books from Santa and the last series of Doctor Who to catch up with. I need to sleep sometimes, and every now and then I quite like doing nothing at all. May I be cut some slack on the missability front?

• Goodness. Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising and John Masefield’s The Box of Delights both mentioned in your leader about literature (31 December). These books have been this 90-year-old’s essential reading for many decades. Just add Alan Garner’s Elidor and the Weirdstone series to Pullman and Tolkien, and her cup is likely to overflow.

• My father was a builder, so it made sense when I heard “lino’s the kingdom, the power and the glory” (Letters, 3 January). In my head I still have that celestial image.

• As a member of a churchgoing family in Putney, I was, from a young age, familiar with Psalm 23. I was also sometimes taken to town from Putney Bridge on the District Line. It was only after we moved to the north when I was nine that I found out that the psalm did not say “in Parsons Green he leadeth me”.

• Re whether Brexit is to blame for the absence of Easter eggs in supermarkets (Letters, 3 January), I can report that Cadbury’s Creme Eggs were present and correct in the Co-op in Pangbourne on New Year’s Day. I bought two.
