Prompt: Name an author that you’d like to have lunch with.

My 1st response was to this prompt was “living or dead?”  I thought I’d do both.

J.K. Rowling would be my choice for an author that’s still living.  I loved the Harry Potter series so much, and I’d love to be able to talk with her.  I’d probably be too much in awe to say anything, but eventually I’d probably say something.  I’d probably end up asking her about the series, but hopefully I’d remember to get in a few other questions.  The books are just so magical, and to be able to talk with J.K.R. would be so amazing.

Jane Austen would be my choice for an author who’s no longer alive.  I’m a big fan of her books, and just love her characters!  I haven’t read Mansfield Park, but I have read her other 5 books, and I must say that I really do love Jane Austen.  I can’t put a finger on why I love her books, but it’s a combination of her writing and the characters.  I will admit to not liking Pride and Prejudice the 1st time I read it, but I think it was because I had trouble get used to her writing style.  When I read it the 2nd time, I could appreciate it, and fell in love with it.  Emma and Sense and Sensibility are 2nd and 3rd, with Persuasion and Northanger Abbey being my 4th and 5th, if I ranked them in order of how much I liked them.

And while my answers really isn’t a surprise, given that Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice are my top 2 favorite books, I think those are my 2 choices.
