Like you said he's a graet storyteller ; and that should surely be the most important factor when reading for pleasure |
Exactly and its only a bonus when a writer both give you pleasure with storytelling and his writing ability.
For example i read Edgar Allan Poe for the first time not so long ago. I was amazed by his writing. Thats a writer who is on a high level. Usually you think some classic writers are respected so highly just cause they were first on what they wrote but not in his case.
