Right now, Joe Hill. I'd ask him what it was like growing up, and then I'd ask him if we could call his dad for a quick chat ;)
I really want to go out for drinks with Libba Bray. And I just want her to talk. Incessantly. About anything. And then I will laugh and laugh and laugh.
Ken Follett, without a doubt. His "Pillars of the Earth" got me started on my addiction to historical fiction.

I think I would choose The King. If it wasn't for him, I would have lost interest in reading at 12 years old. Another good one would be Donna Tartt. I adore her and she is so facinating!

I've not read a Donna Tartt book before. I'll have to give her a go - any particular recommendation?
We could combine my lunch date with yours and get the best of all worlds! My husband credits King with his love affair with reading too. I myself got hooked by Koontz at a young age, which I'd argue was less appropriate than King as his edge is a little more...uh, edgy. As an adult, I prefer King.

I too have had lunch with Cherry Adair and with my favorite book Blogger, Sarah Wendell. :)However, I'd have to say I want lunch with Oscar Wilde... at a library convention. The level of snarky sarcasm would be over-the-top and just plain fun.
