Dinner Party Meme

[mizkit]

Nabbed from Alma Alexander: the Dinner Party Meme. You’re throwing a dinner party. You can invite ten authors, living or dead, to the party. Who do you choose?

1. Shakespeare, if only to take him to see “Anonymous” after dinner. :) No, really, because he’s *Shakespeare*, for heaven’s sake.
2. Oscar Wilde, because OMG.
3. Murasaki Shikibu, because I

Can I come to dinner, too? Either of these tables would make me so very happy.... :) Love the addition of Veronica Franco to the first one. Dangerous Beauty is such an under-rated movie. I have a biography of her sitting in my "to-read" shelf.

I'll drop by, just for a bit, if you promise me that i can sit next to Mark Twain for a bit... and it appears that Dianora is in demand [grin] (Just remember, she comes to MY party first...)

Bonus love for including Trent the Uncatchable. The Long Run by Daniel Keys Moran is tied with John Myers Myers' Silverlock for my favourite book.

Gerald Tarrant from CS Friedman’s Coldfire Trilogy (Tarrant is my favorite fictional character *ever*, and if you’ve read the books, well, see above)

Bizarrely, I am currently reading an entirely different series that also features a Gerald Tarrant... (Modesty Blaise, since you ask. Sir Gerald is head of the secret service, and constantly getting Modesty in trouble.)

...I wonder if she did that on purpose...

If I got to have dinner with ten of my *own* characters, now…:)

*grin* I'd like to see that list . . .

Janx. Daisani. Belinda, though I might want her on the far side of shatterproof glass. Rodrigo. Gary. Chelsea. Seolfor. Melinda. Kelly.

And Morrison, because I'd like to see what he looks like.

Hee!

Not pinging the last three, though. Truthseeker?

Seolfor's from the Inheritors' Cycle. Melinda is Melinda Holliday, Billy's wife. Kelly is, yes, from Truthseeker. Lara's best friend.
