I would like to have a drink with Alice Hoffman. I enjoy her fictional stories and I find her descriptive ability mind-blowing. I'd be curious as to how she communicates as an individual, especially when her work reads like poetry.

Indie British author Malcolm Storer! His new book The Cure is the funniest, most insightful book about sex and relationships I've ever read! He delves deeper into why men and women act the way they do than any other writer, almost to a sub atomic level. I mean, only a genius would ever come up with a story about a man who discovers a drug that removes his sexual desire for women. Think about it, it's the basis of the whole human race!!! And to make it funny like he does takes real talent. Won't be long before Hollywood picks this book up.

Virginia Woolf or W.G.Sebald would be wonderful although would not mind Bukowski either. And oh, Terry Prachett! Looks like I could have a party :)

John Green!

Because then he can tell me simple stuff about life in ways that I can only dream of writing about! :)

I will be at a reader lunch next Saturday with 20+ authors, so I guess all of them ;)

William Shakespeare, of course. Or Sir Thomas More. Possibly Walt Whitman. Well, look at that, now I can't decide... so many amazing writers to choose from...

Chuck Palahniuk for sure. The guy is awesome and I can imagine having a conversation about Lullaby.

James Patterson. Facinating author. He writes mysteries, of course, his genre, but also love stories and some tween books.

Definitely Poe. Imagine the things he'd come up with after getting a little tipsy!

Mark tofu, I can't get enough of his books. I've tried to meet him at few signings but it never worked out.

Right now, I would want to have a drink with Amy Bartol to discuss her Kricket Series. I have a lot of questions about her characters in that book and hopefully after a few drinks she could give me answers that have not been given yet!
