If you could invite any three writers, living or dead, to a dinner party, who would you choose?

Bram Stoker, Stephen King and Tolkien.

Stephen King, also.

Ursula K LeGuin, Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood

Mine are Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf and Charles Dickens

Terry Pratchett, Thomas Pynchon, and Anne Carson. If one is unavailable, Christopher Moore.

Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Dunsany, JRR Tolkien

If I invite dead writers they’ll probably still drink, but won’t pay the bar tab.

The live ones will just bitch about their royalties, and then ask me to drive them to the airport.

I’d rather sleep with another bass player.

Whoever parties the hardest. I don’t want some boring conversation.

Frederick Remington, Charley Russell, and Jack London.

Susan Orlean, Mark Twain, Ben Franklin

Isaac Asimov

Samuel Langhorne Clemens aka Mark Twain

Stephen King

Carl Sagan, Philip Merklinger, and R.A. Salvatore.

Touch question.

Alexandre Dumas (author: Count of Monte Cristo)

Ernest Hemingway

Robert Heinlein

Lewis Carroll, J.D. Salinger, and Dr. Seuss.

I would not invite dead writers to lunch, as it could be an appetite killer.

Kathy Reichs
Jean Auel
Thomas Moran

Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and Gertrude Stein :D

I want the tea, and I think these three would’ve had it about a range of other writers and intellectuals across a wide span of time. Susan Sontag is also up there on my list.

Charles Bukowski
Joan Didion
Maurice Sendak
