1. J.K. Rowling - My childhood, my queen. Need I say more?
2. Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice was the first classic I ever read and it opened up this whole new world of reading. I also need her to find me a Darcy!
3. William Shakespeare - I'm a complete Shakespeare nerd so I would love to meet the man himself and put those pesky rumours to rest that he's not real.
4. Roald Dahl - Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were among my favourite books as a child and even the movies were such big parts of my life.
5. J.R.R. Tolkien - The man who made Middle Earth. I just want to meet the guy who can make such complex worlds and characters and such a beautiful story.
6. George Orwell - 1984 was my favourite book we were required to read in high school. It had such an impact on the way I look at things. I think he would be such an interesting guy to talk to and I would love his opinions on the current state of our world.
7. Oscar Wilde - My love for Wilde has only blossomed this year when I read The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest. Both such excellent works. He also has a really interesting/tragic life that I would love to hear more about.
8. Lewis Carroll - Or Charles Dodgson. Alice in Wonderland has been a favourite of mine for so long and I want to meet the mind that came up with such an eccentric story. The guy was also a genius and a recluse so he'd be quite an interesting character to converse with.
9. Christopher Marlowe - Because damn, Doctor Faustus was so dark and so good.
10. Samuel Beckett - So I can ask him what the hell he was thinking when he wrote Waiting for Godot.
This was surprisingly difficult for me but I came up with ten! Who's on your list?
