Who would you chose?
For me, it would be Stephen King. I would ask him where he gets his ideas from.

- Your example has blanked out others, hence. . . only Stephen King pops up.
I'd ask him three troubling questions:
1. Steve, do you ever get scared by some of your characters?
2. Be frank Mr. King. Did you like the movie, Misery? Was it true to your book and was the book based on some personal experience?
3. What is your frank opinion concerning the recent Virginia shooting?

George Orwell
I don't think he was sexist, but many feel the female characters in is writings were portrayed stereotypically. I would also like to know if he knew of existentialism before he wrote 1984 or did others label it for him after the fact. I believe he was really going for anti-stalinism and pro democracy, but what were he motives and who or what influenced him the most before and during the writing of the book.

Margaret Mitchell - I would love to know who she based Scarlett O'Hara on and talk about the creation of Gone With the Wind. I'd also like to dine with Mark Twain. I think he would bring a lot of fun to the table.

Stephen King and or Ray Bradbury would ask them how to get published with out having to pay, and would ask what motivates them

Stephenie Meyer - She is a great author. Twilight was her first book and she did really good with it. So many people enjoy it! I hope to be like her.

Terry Pratchett. Hands down.
If he's half as quick-witted and clever as his characters (which I'm inclined to believe he is), that would be a heck of a night.
I can't even think of one specific question to ask him, it'd just be a fun and crazy dinner.

Same for me, Stephen King. I've been fascinated by him for over 20 years. I've read most of his works. I even read Danse Macabre.

RAY BRADBURY!!! An off chance find of his book (34 years ago) SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES introduced me to the FANTASTICAL worlds of science fiction and fantasy. I would thank him for helping me discover the likes of ANNE MCCAFFREY,ISAAC ASIMOV, PHILIP JOSE FARMER, ANDRE NORTON, This list could go on forever
SO THANK YOU RAY BRADBURY. And a star to you for an excellent question.
