I agree with V .C.Andrews. it's amazing that so many of her books were written after she had died. She must have left so many outlines and ideas at the time of her death.

If I revived some classic writer, it would be difficult for him to adapt in the modern world.

At some point, I started begging her to continue. Her voice grew raw and tired, even after drinking water regularly, but she read to me through almost the entire night because I NEEDED to know what would happen next. She didn't stop until we got to the end. We read the entire book in one night. (Ah, a sister's love) I absolutely fell in love with reading that day. After that, I started seeking out books for myself without her, but every once in a while she'd try to pique my interest by reading to me. And she was usually right. This was how she got me hooked on Stephen King, Harry Potter, and many, many others.
Oh, and also - I'd revive Jane Austen. I'd love to see what that woman would come up with today, in a world where Elizabeth Bennet would soar.
