Seems a bit limiting to not accept 1st person at all though.

One of my favorite novels is in the first person - well, for the most part. It contains some of the most beautiful prose in the English language.
The Sorrows of Werther by J.W. Goethe.
There's a free copy online at bartleby.com I believe.

Not accepting a good book just because it's written in the 1st person seems just a little bit silly to me.

I do have problem with some novels that are written with the diary motif. The most famous being Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. If you are being hunted by bloodthirsty creatures of the night, do you really have the time to write down all the events in meticulous detail when the time could be better spent trying to fight them or... running away?
I suppose a bit of artistic license and suspension of disbelief is involved. But it's something that's always irked me. Like 'The Blair Witch Project', as much as I enjoyed it, I was constantly thinking 'Drop the heavy filming equipment and RUN FOR YOUR LIVES FOOLS!'
This is not a rant at First-Person stories, just those that use the diary format. Though I anticipate a story about getting lost in a Sahara Desert told through internet blogs...

I know from when I worked at a bookstore those cheesy romance paperbacks flew off the shelf each month. Not high quality writing but the romance aspect and maybe the Fabio-ish laden cover add to it.

i hadn't thought about it but most of my books are third person with many story lines
you could sort of get into character's heads with third person omniscient, as opposed to third person limited

My mum's been writing a children's story for well over a year now. Well, she wrote is ages ago, but for over a year she just fiddles with it, changes sentences, names, words! Her story's been turned down by a lot of publishers and I think she's getting desperate.
Pele, I have the same experience of working in a bookshop and it's always the cheesey romance that sells!!

well, i wouldn't dive for romances but i sure as anything dive for other books...
is that why they say if the book doesn't have a cover it's been stolen
i think romances sell because they are so obviously fantasy, and therefore so removed from the drudge of the readers life
my ex's mom has a couple of books published, she just had a new one published: it's a mystery centered around the doll collecting world

I prefer to read 3rd person. Mainly because the author can hint at how the main character is feeling, or acting, without directly telling you how.
