Tamora Pierce, Patricia C. Wrede, and JK Rowling. They are three of my favorite authors in the world, and some of my idols, as well as being people who I think would be really interesting and funny in person.
JK Rowling, Ray Bradbury, John Green. The conversation would be fascinating, and all of them created stories that I love. John Green is hilarious, so that would be an added bonus.

Neil Gaiman.
He is a magnificent story teller and writer, and I would love to talk to him about anything and everything. Plus, he is married to the amazing Amanda Palmer, so he can bring her along to the dinner :)
J.K Rowling.
Need I say more?
Scott Westerfeld.
He seems like a genuinely funny guy, and he has some quirky ideas. I imagine he would be great company.
Ugh, living authors? That makes things touuugh.THOMAS LIGOTTI
THOMAS PYNCHON
CORMAC MCCARTHY
I have a feeling that this would end up being a terribly awkward dinner considering I just had to choose three reclusive authors, but still. If it WASN'T awkward it'd be rad as all heck. We'd have Ligotti going on about darkness and junk, Pynchon I imagine would make some brilliantly tasteless jokes and McCarthy would...I don't know what he'd do. Grumble a lot probably.
Mod
I dont imagine McCarthy would be bucket loads of fun to talk to over dinner.

Patrick Ness

No, I don't think so. But you never know. He could surprise you.
Hmmmm.....J.K. Rowling
John Green
Shannon Hale
The conversations would be really interesting, that's for sure.
Alright. With dead people.Jorge Luis Borges
Roberto Bolano
David Foster Wallace
This dinner, I think, would end up better than the other one. Assuming I become fluent in Spanish...and David Foster Wallace is fluent as well. ANYWAY, getting past that hurtle! I think it'd be one of the most rad and brain melting dinners ever. By the end I would not know what ANYTHING is anymore and that'd be absolutely wonderful.
Maybe they would become fluent in English. After all, you are bringing them back to life.
Ooooh, good point, didn't think of that. Consider the problem SOLVED!
Dead people? Hmmm....Victor Hugo
William Shakespeare
Alexander Dumas

They don't have to be dead. They just no longer have to be alive.
Mod
-Roald Dahl
-Agatha Christie
-George Orwell
Oof, that would be amazing, Jess. That would be the best dinner ever. Don't suppose I can come? *Puppy eyes*

Me too?

Me three? Those are some of my faves :)
J.K. Rowling, for sure.Suzanne Collins and....
does Tina Fey count? I read her book, haha. If she doesn't,
Rick Riordan, I guess. I can't think of a funny author...
She counts. She may not have written a lot, but she wrote a book. Plus screenplays.
Mod
You know, forget Orwell & Christie, I'd love to have every meal of the day with Roald Dahl. Can you imagine the conversations you'd have with that man?
*Thinks* It would be...
Fascinating. Definitely fascinating.
That would be really interesting.I'll bring chocolate chip cookies.
Yes, definitely. So many amazing choices!
I agree, Get ready for the cake that's coming!

Am I not invited? :(
Mod
I would invite J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, and Roald Dahl (even though he is dead).
Neil Gaiman is one interesting author. *Shakes head*But I do love his books.
★ Jess wrote: "Those are three of my favorites!"Mhm, they're wonderful and mine too! I'm planning to reread some of Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman soon 'cause I just love them and it's been a while.
★ Jess wrote: "Oops, I totally thought I'd invited you along as well! Of course you can attend!"Oh thanks! :)
Roald Dahl would be fantastic. I want to live in one of his books!
Suzanne Collins
Amy Plum
Jennifer L. Holm
J.K. Rowling, Cassandra Clare, and Maggie Stievater. If I could invite 4, then I would invite Suzanne Collins, too.
Suzanne Collins, Rick Riordan, and Brian Jacques.
Mod
Staying on singers, I think Amanda Palmer would be cool too :)
Mod
Sherwood Smith, hm...Eoin Colfer, and J.K. Rowling would be fantastic to converse with!
JK Rowling, Cassandra Clare, Veronica Roth
Maggie Stiefvater, John Green... and, um... I dunno, those are the important ones. It would be the worlds most awkward dinner. Or it could be awesome. Oh! I know. Veronica Roth can be my third.
Khaled hosseini, john green, cassandra clare, stephen king.
Dan Brown, J. K. Rowling, and Veronica Roth
Veronica Blade, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Quinn Loftis.That would be the worlds best dinner right there! (:
