There a many I'd love to have back for one more novel or, even better, to get to meet and know: Faulkner, Hemingway, Poe, Twain, and on and on. But if I could only pick onne, it'd be, John Kennedy Toole, a superb young author who died before his first (and only) novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, was published.

I would have to say VC Andrews. Although her family is still publishing her stories from her memoirs. So I guess she doesnt count. lol

LOL Sass, me too.. I read Persuasion (granted it is a very small book) in like 3 or four hours. Mansfield Park was the first one I ever read and of course my fav.
I would also have to say Louisa May Alcott.
Pride and prejudice has always been my fave...

I was thinking of that earlier too. Hers were the first grown up stories I read my aunt offered me her at the time up to date collection, when I was shockingly only thirteen years old. It took me around 30 days to read her first 22 novels.

Yea it was alright.. I think though cause that one was always her most famous story I didn't really take to it much.. I read it once.. took me about 16 hour and never thought much about it again.

Such a great shame he committed suicide.

Emily Dickinson. The answer to that question took zero hesitation on my part.

I think Charles Dickens would have a number of important things to say about the state of the world today.

No doubt, but I would hope he'd elucidate the Mystery of Edwin Drood first.
Let's give him a long second life to do everything, Drood first.

Quote by gypsymoth
Agreed.
Apart from Edwin Drood, what are your favourite books of Dickens?
My favorite is A Tale of Two Cities. After that, probably Bleak House.

I would also dearly love to have John Steinbeck alive and writing again.

This is probably an unusual one for most, but I really got into Albert Camus in my first year of University.
Two of his novels, The Stranger (or L'Etranger) and The Fall, are still favourites of mine.

He was a song writer and not a poet, but I can't help wondering what other songs Jim Croche would have written if he had not died

Love Camus, including The Stranger and The Fall. Have you read The Plague? I read a fair amount of Camus in an Existentialism class in college.

Yes, I read the Plague... I didn't like it as much though. I also read some Sartre, but those two books I mentioned are still my stand-out favourites.

Oh, God, Sartre. Being and Nothingness was an extremely taxing read.

Yes... it was forced upon me in English class... It was like a literary lobotomy.
