   H.P. Lovecraft has been my favorite author since I first discovered his works when I was around ten years old. I would love to have dinner with him, although I do believe there would be quite a bit of personality conflict. Still, I think the opportunity would be incredible - provided he has a body once more.
   
   David Kwong is someone I follow on social media, and I absolutely love his wit, talents, and intelligence. I would love to have dinner with him, pick his brain a bit, and play Scrabble. I am fairly certain he would beat me at it - especially since that is a salient aspect of his career - but it would still be fun.
   
   This last one is hard. My initial reaction is to use my final selection for David Bowie, whom I have "loved" since I was two-years-old. On the other hand, there is something about meeting him that I just don't think I could really do. It's like meeting a deity or something. This brings me to all of my other selections. Would I want an intellectual discussion, or something more casual and amusing? I would want to have dinner with my intellectual heroes, though what if they end up being condescending or I make an idiot out of myself?
   
   That being said, I would probably end up picking Nathan Fillion. He is an incredible human being (from what I can tell), intelligent, hilarious, and one of my favorite actors. It would be wonderful to have dinner with my captain!
   
   
   What a great question! I also JUST realized it was originally posted five years ago. Well, then. . .

   Edgar Allen People, his works are among my most favorite, I can read them over and over and never tire of them. I'd love to discuss his inspirations and learn more about him.
   
   Ralph Waldo Emmerson -seriously an inspirational writer, I find myself quoting different works of his all the time. Reading Emmerson for me is like witnessing something majestic.
   
   Dolly Parton, the woman makes me cry. So many of her songs are relatable to me through life experiences. You can't help but be inspired by the woman, she had 12 siblings and was raised dirt poor only to make something amazing out of her life while helping others along the way.

    Tom DeLonge, the (former) guitarist from blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves. For whatever reason, I find his work in all mediums fascinating. Not to mention he seems hilarious in any interview I've seen him in.
    
    Sir Terry Pratchett, author the Discworld series (among *many* others). Just an insanely intelligent person who we're all a little worse off for his death.
    
    Dr. Samuel Johnson, collector of words. I'm just fascinated with Victorian era London, and he was a fervent observer of that time.

    Lenny Henry - comedian who completed an OU Degree as a mature student, as I did, and has since played Hamlet on the stage. We could chat about Shakespeare when he wasn't telling jokes
