Who
y'all consider great authors...
I agree with all that you have said, and I agree with many of the views regarding the greatest authors of all time, and while I consider
how a story is told to be a very important factor in a book/movie/game, that aspect -
how the story is told is also covered in attempt #1.
For that matter, the story and the way it is told, to me, atleast, get a little repeitious - sprouting boredom. I can list all the books that I have read more than once, easily, because it is a short list, and I trust you (if not you, the general opinion) will agree that they are indeed great stories that are well told: Count of Monte Cristo, Moby Dick, Picture of Dorian Gray, The Lord of the Rings, and finally, Great Expectations. All classic, if you ask me - in a league of their own
