They must be characters of FICTION and originally from BOOKS, not movies. They can be any three characters from any three or two books or even the same book. Who do you think would make a good combo for the most interesting discussion over tea and cookies and why?
For example, think what it'd be like to invite Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and Sam Spade (from "The Maltese Falcon") over.
Or Alice (from "Alice in Wonderland"), Dorothy (from "Wizard of Oz"), and Fern (from "Charlotte's Web").

I would invite Scarlett O'Hara (from "Gone With The Wind"),
the Headless Horseman (from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"), and Lestat (from "Interview with the Vampire").
Tea and cookies with these three would be very interesting indeed..
Lestat would be preoccupied with Scarlett's blood flow,
Scarlett would be saying "I shall think about it tomorrow" and the Headless Horseman would be stumbling and breaking things because he can't see where he is going..!

First and foremost, Esther Greenwood from The Bell Jar because she portrays my favorite author/poet, Sylvia Plath.
Then Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye so I can study him in order to further the growth of the main character in my book, a character who will probably appear in many of my stories much like Holden did in Salinger's stories.
Hm. And just to add even more chaos to this tea party, I would like to have over the Indian from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I really want to know why he chose to not talk and how did he pull it off? I wish I could just Not talk.

Let's see...
Holden Caulfield, from J. D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," Mike the slowly-turning-human supercomputer from Robert Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," and uh...Mr. Wednesday, a.k.a. the god Odin, from Neil Gaiman's "American Gods." A hypocritical cynic, a computer that wants to understand the complexities of human humor, and a god turned grifter....that would be a rockin' party.
Pity I don't like tea.

Clark "Doc" Savage, Jr. from the Doc Savage series, John Carter, from Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars stories, and Robert Neville, from Richard Matheson's "The Omega Man". We'd have tea with whiskey to fix it up in a gentleman's lounge, complete with crackling blaze and Carter's pet calot, Woola sprawled on the rug before us.

Stephanie Plum, from the Janet Evanovich books, because she is so funny yet always seems to save the day, Einstein the golden retriever, from Dean Koontz's Watchers, because who wouldn't want to have dinner with a super genius dog that's as smart or smarter than me? and oh, i don't know, maybe Romeo just to hear him talk in Shakespear's language... I'm not sure how they'd get along, but it would sure be entertaining!

1. Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice.)
2. Lena Kalligarus (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.)
3. Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables.)
As for why, I just think we could have very intriguing conversations together. Elizabeth and Anne are very much like me, and I think it would be interesting to exchange family stories with Lena. We would certainly have a blast, as we are all from different time periods.

I cant remember the story by edgar allen poe, but the guy that killed his wife and cut out the catseye, the devil as Mr.Goodman Brown's grandfather ,in Mr. Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and the gunslinger in the gunslinger by stephen king, I think we would have a wickedly fun and most interesting converstion, a good time for all.
