Ayn Rand, Frederick Nietzsche and Aristotle!
My choice would be Mark Twain. He was ahead of his time in presenting stories that were simple on the surface but exposed a lot of political and social evils in society. He had a sense of humor and unique insight but never preached.
I would like to meet Jerome K. Jerome Going by his books,he looks like he must have been a very funny guy.It would be really cool to hang out with him :)
Napoleon Hill ( The author of 'Think And Grow Rich' ). I've recommend this book to many people. A must read book for everyone.
PG Wodehouseif he refuses to meet me, then,
Agatha Christie.
I want to meet R K Narayan too...

PG Wodehouse (Smitha I totally agree with you) :)Nevil Shute
Agatha Christie
Charles Dickens
Ayn Rand
Ruskin bond!actually he is alive but he is 60 approximately!
so you never know!
I always wanted to meet that wonderful woman called Agatha Christie. Soo surprised as well as happy to know that many others want to meet her too.
John Steinbeck! Such an amazing writer. I am always amazed at the passion he writes with and the brutal honesty he gives in his writing.
At the moment I go with Kafka. Ask him about his unfinished books and also see his reaction once he finds out that all his work has been published even though he told his best friend to just burn everything.
Arthur Canon Doyle...without doubt!
Eva Ibbotson.I just loves her book, classic yet adventurous.
Charles Dickens. Also, Jane Austen would be neat.
The man who rocked the action-thriller and espionage world in just 14 books, Vince Flynn. RIP Vince
jane austen, dante, harper lee, o henry and oscar wilde
R K NarayanJane Austen
Charlotte Bronte
Sidney Sheldon,Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,Jane Austen:)
No doubt in my mind: Franz Kafka. I'd love to tell him how right he was having written in the early '20s. His main supposition was the insignificance of the individual in the eyes of the state. You think you're living in a free country. Try breaking the law over something trivial and insignificant, like that black kid that crossed a solid white line in Texas. That's when you learn what the state really thinks of you.
Read my "DUI Story" in my "Pot Stories". I wrote it from the eyes of K. The man helped bring on the existentialist movement and absurdism. Life is surreal.

Agree with your choices :))
Agreed - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jane Austen, as well as C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Bram Stoker and last but not at all least, Johanna Spyri.
Edgar Allen Poe and Abraham Lincoln( a great writer for never having gone to school!!)
Tina wrote: "Edgar Allen Poe and Abraham Lincoln( a great writer for never having gone to school!!)"You have to admit Lincoln said something that was dead WRONG. As wrong as Neville Chamberlin who declared "There will be peace in our time" when he returned from the Agreement of Munich.
As wrong as the record company owner who told Elvis Presley to "Go back to Tennessee and get a job driving a truck."
The beginning of the Gettysburg Address starts with "What we say here will not long be remembered." Now as wrong as can be.
Carl Sagan. Not just because he is an author, but also because he is a great humanist, visionary, and lively.
C.S. Lewis (want to talk about his book Mere Christianity which I've yet to read but want to.)Catherine Marshall
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Louisa May Alcott
L. M. Montgomery
John keats
CARLSAGAN - YES @ Phani Raj
And Edgar Allen Poe too @Tina
And Edgar Allen Poe too @Tina
A couple of them - Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen and George Orwell for starters :)
Edgar Allan Poe, for sure. And Mary Shelley.
