Which author do you want to have a beer with?

I'd have to say John Irving. I have a feeling there would be no intelligent conversation, just me staring in awe with some drool on my chin.

On the plus side, he may use you as a character in a future book

Ah yes, but would I tell anyone? "I'm the unintelligent one on page 52..." hahaha

Oh but you could!
And then just say that there's another copy with you being ogled at.

Dead: Voltaire
Alive: Paul S. Kemp

Could have an interesting chin-wag regarding whales and spirituality stuff with Herman Melville, of course.

Personally, this is my list. I'm not including Kristopher Young, though, since he's a mate of mine:

Raymond Chandler
Edith Wharton
James M. Cain
Graham Greene
Umberto Eco
Mary Shelley
Haruki Murakami
Dashiell Hammett
Joseph Heller
Ray Bradbury
Philip K. Dick
William Shakespeare
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
Theodor Seuss Geisel
Robert E. Howard
Murasaki Shikibu
Johnston McCulley
Enid Blyton
Stan Lee

I think we'd have to have a party and invite all of them along, then throw 'em into the mix. Wunderbar!

I think it would be nice to have a drink with Haruki Murakami in some jazz bar.

Which author would you most want to meet and sit down and have a beer with?

(If you don't drink beer, which author would you most want to go to lunch with?)

Audrey Niffenegger! (Author of The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry)
Absolutely love her writing and she writes such interesting books, I think that she would be amazing to talk to and really good company!!

[BookWorm617]

Definitly Stephen King..and I know this sounds weird but also Aleister Crowley. He was such a kooky person that I would love to sit and hear what he has to say. Plus I loved his book "Diary of a Drug Fiend". Satan worshippers intrique me for some strange reason.

[SteveEmmett]

James Hamilton Patterson because he makes me laugh. But Clive Barker just because!

[Wulaishiwo2]

i want to drink with Hanhan, Milan Kundera.....

[Almalau]

Neil Gaiman. Definitely.
