If I had a chance to meet him, I would like to have a beer or cocktail with Stephen King because I think his stories would become even more interesting than his books if he were more relaxed and enjoying himself, socializing.

I would love to have a beer with Mary Janice Davidson. She writes the Undead books about the Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor. But I think I would have to change our drink order to a couple of Strawberry Daiquiris. At least that is what Betsy likes...

Definitely E. E. Cummings if he were alive. Or Alex Haley. Or Pearl S. Buck. Otherwise, John Green. Or Nicole Krauss. Or Harper Lee.
Except, I don't drink beer. So maybe we can have an orange juice.

I'd say Stephen King or Edgar Allan Poe if he was still alive.
Thomas Harris might be interesting as well seeing that he's a famous recluse and says he finds the act of writing 'a kind of torment'.

Two men:
Neil Gaiman, because I adore his writing and his mind must be fascinating (though he would probably say it isn't).

Henry Rollins - true, he started as a musician, but he has written books and has his own publishing company. I'm currently reading "Do I Come Here Often" and am loving it. I think Henry is down to earth and I'd like to talk about a range of topics with him.

Stephen King, George Orwell, Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams and Ben Elton.

They all seem like very intelligent and interesting people :)

William F. Buckley. My guess is that Mr. Buckley didn't drink beer unless it was in a schooner and never drank
beer without steamed clams. "That'll be two schooners, two bibs, and bathtub of steamers". On me.

Considering I was an English Major and have been a literature nerd all of my life, I can narrow the list down to a few dozen authors,but my latest infatuation is with Robert Greene ( 48 Laws of Power, 33 Strategies of War, Art of Seduction).

Neil Gaiman - and we could talk about Doctor Who!
And Sharon Penman - we could talk about medieval Welsh history!
