If you oculd invite four dead authors to dinner...

[CarlKillerMiller]

I was thinking about this while writing an application essay. For me,

Bierce: Where the hell did you go? (disappeared in the desert)
Gogol: Why would you burn the second part of your masterpiece?
Shakespeare: Were you and Christopher Marlowe the same person?

Can't think of a fourth...

Isaac Assimov
Philip K. Dick
Shakespeare
And some poet my chick likes.

EDIT: Screw Billy, I'd invite Poe.

I would only need one, Jules Verne. He was a man far beyond his time.

 

[mitchafi]

Shakespeare
Voltaire
Homer
Tolkien

 

[Slacker]

Dang, do they have to be dead?, I could kill them and then invite them to dinner but I dont think they would come

 

[acemcmac]

Socrates, John Maynard Keynes, Marx and Ben Franklin... I think....

I wish that I could post the finished paper here, but I don't think it's a good idea, considering that it's for a well-known college's application.

 

[biostud]

Astrid Lindgren

 

[nageov3t]

John Steinbeck
Ayn Rand
Karl Marx
Aldous Huxley

there's nothing I want to ask any of them, but I'd love to just sit and listen to a conversation between those four people. I think it would be fascinating.

 

[Zenmervolt]

G.K. Chesterton
Ambrose Bierce

(Would be fun to watch Bierce get completely and thoroughly pwned by Chesterton, plus, I too am curious about what really happened to Bierce out there in Mexico.)

Soren Kierkegaard
Albert Schweitzer

Would be an interesting group.

 

[EyeMWing]

Adolf Hitler
Karl Marx
Shakespeare (COMEDIC GOLD)
Dr. Freud (EVEN MORE COMEDIC GOLD)

Hrm, or swap out Freud for Charles Darwin. My god that would be hillarious.

Antonin Artaud
Karl Marx
Douglass Adams
Hermann Hesse
