Definitely Mark Twain. Talking to him would be the equivalent to taking a college course. Maybe better.

I would imagine she would also be stunned at the spinoffs of her novels. Especially the zombie one!

Carl Sagan. The world needs his logic, and his kindness, now.

I would choose the wonderful Laura Ingalls Wilder. She would have plenty to say about modern adjustments, family, and current events.
Her perspective would be so great to talk to her about!

Loads of them, sadly.
I would LOVE to meet C. S. Lewis in person. Or Diana Wynne Jones.

You stole my answer, lol! Jane Austen, for sure. Her perspectives on men and romance were often comical and I would love to get her perspective on the modern-day dating scene with online dating networks and matchmaking television shows (like "The Bachelor"). I have a feeling she would share in my feelings of how distasteful dating has become.

Oscar Wilde! Which pearls of wisdom would he have for us? How would he see modern people?
And Robert Jordan as well, I love The Wheel Of Time books, I really would enjoy discussing the story with him.

Sue Grafton, so she could finish the last letter of the alphabet. That is my mother's all-time favorite series.
I would also love to bring back Dr. Suess

Most days Terry Patchet; some other days, Georgette Heyer.

Another vote for Oscar Wilde-- I'd love to see what he'd make of social media! He'd make a killing on Twitter, I bet.
