clearly it does, for some. I've met plenty of other authors
who I didn't care for personally, some on this list in fact,
but it had no bearing on how I reacted to the power of their
words on the printed page. conversely, I've met some very
charming (and well known) authors who did absolutely nothing
for me as a reader.
