"Have you ever read the Greatest Story Ever Told?"

Not all of the additional ones or all the appendixes, but yes, the main parts.

Reminded me of a post I read long ago talking about the Greatest Story line that is often used for the Bible. "THIS??? THIS is the greatest story ever told? WTF?" It's really not that great overall. Quotable, sure...but the plot and characters suck.

"Have you ever read the Greatest Story Ever Told?"

Yes, and the (old) Bible's authors have too (Gilgamesh and Atrahasis Epics).
