I'm going to see Isobelle Carmody tomorrow - one of my favourite authors. This somehow led me to wondering which three authors I'd invite to dinner. So here are mine. Which three would you choose?

  • That's quite an interesting mix - should be a really enjoyable dinner party. :D

  • Michael Chriton because, well I loved him. His books were so techniqual and I know we would have an intellectual conversation.

    Jane Austin-nuff said

    Nick Hornby-because British authors are love. His books are witty and lovely!

  • I also suspect that, while brilliant, my other guest, Poe, would be quite depressing...

  • On the other hand Thompson would be to drunk or drugged to even show and Ginsberg would tear a hole in my head ... hmm... maybe just Huxley then .. if he were around

  • Now that's a nice assortment.

  • Yeah, he really would. You could always alter the invitation slightly and get everyone to pretend to leave early and sneak back once he was gone...

  • Hunter S. Thompson, Allen Ginsberg, Alodus Huxley :D

  • What about Oscar Wilde? He'd make for interesting dinner conversation...that said, he'd probably annoy after a while...

    Terry Pratchett FTW!

  • MARGARET ATWOOD, NEIL GAIMAN, AND JOHN GREEN.

    The zombie authors I'd invite to dinner are HP Lovecraft, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. And Vladimir Nabokov. *shifty eyes* I'm a writer, I can't count.

  • No, no you don't need to explain the why of John Barrowman. It's perfectly obvious. In fact, I might add him to my dinner party, too. :D

    I haven't heard of Yasmine Galenorn - what sort of stuff does she write?
