Latest Review: "Heart of Flint" by Scott Stricklen

That would depend on whether I'm inviting them for their writing or their personality. Either way, Oscar Wilde would be on the list, as would Neil Gaiman. I'd also like to have Diane Duane and Jane Austen. Not so much a party, perhaps, but a pleasant dinner gathering.

Latest Review: "Paradigm Shift" by Bill Ellis

Post by annareads »

Fitzgerald because he is my soulmate, Hemingway so he'd have a drinking buddy, Shakespeare (or at least the man who wrote the plays, whoever he may be) because he must be fascinating, Hunter S. Thompson to rattle things around a bit, Jane Austen because she's awesome and could be a voice of reason, and then who knows? Maybe I'd just let them invite their friends and see what literary chaos arises!

My list contained some for personality
Some for their style
Some for dynamic tension
And Castaneda for his.. Cactus knowledge

Off the top of my head, I would invite Hemingway, Tom Robbins, Grisham, Crichton, John D. MacDonald, maybe even Steven King and Patterson. And wouldn't Anne Rice round that out nicely?

John Grisham, Agatha Christie, Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Mary Higgins Clark, JK Rowling, Michael Palmer. That's going to be one cool party. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is such an interesting personality. She's invited too.
