Like I said, why should I trust you? Because you are so darn cute when you defend the "fluff" as being the superior to other types of fiction?
Stupid comment. I said storytelling is the most important aspect of writing and that the truly great novels are the ones that do both - great storytelling and deep meaning/style. I just said that a lot of the "great" novels that elites cite lack good storytelling and therefore should not be given such acclaim.
Silly head.....

I just wish he'd be done with the RJ shit and go back to writing his own books.

No, I read that and didn't disagree that there couldn't be works that had both (read other comments)

Uh...Faust is a play. Doctor Faustus is a novel. The former is Goethe, the latter is Mann. *NM*

I suppose fame is relative, but the most famous Doctor Faustus, to me personally, is indeed a play.
