Just that list is enough to give you hope.
I don't really understand why some people are getting so bent out of shape over this list. Of course everyone isn't going to agree on best authors (or books). I look at it as a starting point. There are some authors that I personally would've placed higher, or lower, but there are also some that I'm not familiar with. Looking forward to checking them out and see if I like them as well.
Thank you for the correction.http://www.hergoods.info/avatar2.jpg
it is very helpful for me !thanks!
THank youuu
So glad to see Dostoevsky, Dickens and Tolstoy where they are. And Jane Austen's my second favourite author but I think it's hilarious that she's in sixth place. Captain Wentworth anyone?
The first five should be:
1. Homer
2. Virgil
3. Dante
4. Cervantes
5. Shakespeare
It seems to me that we can debate about the order but I don't see others in the top five :P
No Sophocles??? All Top 100 lists are bogus.
Why the need to rate people at all?
What about Cocteau and Gide? Noone's mentioned them, if I'm not mistaken.
This essentially is a highest voted list but still a very nice ranking.
