Janet Evanovich-I love her books too....funny as hell (and new one coming out Tuesday! )

Joe Hill-maybe after a few drinks he can tell him what possessed him to write that crap

Shirley Jackson

I'd like to get roaring drunk with William Burroughs. Then we could go out to the desert and shoot guns.

Mine would have to be Oscar Wilde.

Anyone with final words like "either this wallpaper goes or I do" would be worth a beer or two - eventhough I cant drink.

Kurt Vonnegut is my first choice. I would also give him a pen so he could doodle on the cocktail napkins, so I could steal them all later. I love his doodles. I love that man.

Burroughs would be cool, but I don't reccommend going shooting in the desert. You might not come back. Like his wife. I'd take Bukowski over him actually, no matter how good Junky was.

Actually, any of the beatniks. Or Toni Morrison. Or Shakespeare. I bet that guy could knock a few back. He was totally 3 sheets to the wond when he wrote Titus Andronicus. I bet Shakespeare gets violent too. I'm down.
