Only "elites" can critique music, literature, and cinema? Seriously? Wow.
This perfectly sums up what I am against. Allowing others to think for yourself and following the "elites" blindly.
And FYI, I am very familiar with Doctor Faustus.....wonderful play!

Was Sanderson created by the Writng Gods to counter balance GRRM?

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

You are correct in one respect: all of this is opinion.

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.

Sanderson is a machine. Also, the books (so far) have been wildly different
