boots goes:

How can something be great writing if it isn't great reading?

When does writing become great: when it's read, or when it's written?

If the author is arrogant enough to stamp it great, he can burn it
without anyone else even knowing it was written and it will be,
according to the author, great; if not, perhaps the reader decides
whether it is great or even acceptable.
