I'd pick the great poet, Jim Morrison.
"Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evenin' that the city sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight
It's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive "
(Now I just hope he wrote that quote and no other person from the group :P)
VC Andrews. Her ghostwriter needs to be fired.

I'm sort of surprised that Tolkien hasn't been mentioned? I would have loved for him to have truly finished the Silmarillion and who knows what else he might have conceived? Although few people ever "got" what all the work was about, the tale of the elves fleeing Valinor when they should have followed the advice of the gods. The whole Hobbit and Lord Of the Rings was created to tell the greater story.

Being a fan of horror/macabre, I would bring back either Poe or H.P. Lovecraft.....Two of my top inspirations in my writing. I would also bring back Mario Puzo, but only because I'd love to pick his mind and see what made him tick.

I'm surprised no-one has wanted to bring Shakespeare back.
I would also bring back JD Salinger. I often wondered whether or not he would've did a series on Holden Caulfield's life after his teenage years.

Not really dead... But I wish Joe Mad would get his shit together and finish Battle Chasers. He created an awesome world and characters then just abandoned it.
It would also be cool to have the Marquis de Sade write some stories set in the present day.
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, "Leo" to his mates.
To satisfy my frustration, Robert Jordan. As an all-time favorite who maybe could have given us even more genius, Tolkien- although he may have needed another 50 years to write another book. And as a hopeful writer of erotica, how about A.N. Roquelaure.
What's that you say? She's not dead? She's turned all Bible thumper- er, I mean, had a religious awakening? Oh. Damn. Anaïs Nin, then.
Mark Twain. I can relate to some of his characters.
Oscar Wilde. I think he would have a field day with the absurdity that goes on now a days and its almost okay to be gay, so no sweat.
