Gosh, that was quite a shock to my system Paula - the realisation that if I have read any 'first novels' recently, I either cannot remember or I don't actually know if they were first novels or not. All I can suggest for the moment is Wuthering Heights or Adam Bede. Too much living in the 19thC! Give me time, I'm sure I'll remember more - and more recent ones.
I want to offer the following blog as a good place to check for anyone who is interested in keeping up on world literature, fiction in translation and almost anything else to do with reading and writing:

Also, I don't usually follow dovegreyreader, but there's a discussion there about crtics, criticism and bloggers which seems interesting.
Finally, my Poetry Group is going to watch 'Bright Star' at the Reel on Weds 16th Dec - the early showing, which is (apparently, tho' they are ususally earlier, so do check) 5.30. I'll be there for a second viewing, so if anyone could not make the Dartington trip, and wants to join us, we will be there at 5.00 (or earlier) to ensure ticket purchase, and then maybe the cafe until film time
