Robt: Lewis Stevenson : 'The Pavilion on the Links' [1880]. Arthur Conan Doyle characterized this as "the high-water mark of Stevenson's genius" and "the first short-story in the world". I enjoyed it, but wdn't rate it as among the best of RLS's work - not in the same league as the marvellous ''The Beach of Falesá' or ''The Ebb Tide'.

Julian Barnes : 'Flaubert's Parrot' [1984]. I had forgotten how good this is. It may nudge me to re-read more Flaubert : 'l 'Éducation sentimentale' [1869] wd be top of my list...
