Definitely J.K. Rowling woot! and Ayn Rand would be an awesome person to drink some soda with, lol. No beer, please :p Stephenie Meyer's personality seems to be a good one to dine with.

Bret Easton Ellis. I'd also love to have an ... uh ... ale?! :shock: with Sir Thomas Moore, have always wanted to delve deeper into Utopia with its author. If only there was an author's pub... hidden deep aways somewhere in Ireland... full of authors... =]

It would have to be Tom Clancy. With all the government research and people he has talked to, you know he has to know where the bodies are buried, so to speak. Maybe with enough beers you could learn some very intersting unpublished facts.....

I would have said Kurt Vonnegut but he is dead so unless we can pick dead folk I will have to choose John Irving, Stephen King, or Douglas Adams (who is dead too...damn).
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

Anne Lamott - although I'm not sure she drinks beer. If we are counting non-living authors - oh to be at a table with JRR Tolkien, William Blake and Kahlil Gibran 8)

Terry Pratchett and Hunter S. Thompson, although the latter would have been able to destroy my liver in an afternoon.

Probably Tolkein, just for the hell of picking his brains about all he wrote

Hemingway without a doubt. Thomas Pynchon might be fun, too.
