   You're back in time with red Pinot Noir for conversation with a writer.  Who's your writer?
   
   Several years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night after having a dream that I had walked through a corridor with closed doors on each side.  I opened one door, and there stood Ernest Hemingway.  I tried very hard to go back into that dream.  I was having a conversation with an incredible writer.  So, step back in time and share who you would want to have a conversation with.

   Either F. Scott Fitzgerald, D.H. Lawrence or Dylan Thomas. Or all three. That would be awesome too. The only thing I would change though is that I would exchange scotch for the wine. And I would definitely be taking notes.

      Ah, scotch, yes, of course!  Dylan Thomas, well, all three you mention are excellent!

   Edgar Allen Poe has always been a favorite of mine.  I stand with you on Hemingway.  There are so many I cold name here.  I would never have the time to return with my tales.

   Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert A. Heinlein, and G. Harry Stine. I DID get to meet and talk with Stine but there are still questions I'd love to ask him!

   Dorothy Parker, although I think she liked martinis or something stronger than wine.  The only problem would be keeping up with her.  Do writers like wine?  I can't think of many that are associated with wine,  Might just be my taste in writers.

      I probably associate wine with Hemingway.  Could be hot brandy or some other drink, or even tea, I suppose.  Dorothy Parker is a great choice.

   If you were with Hemingway, hopefully you brought more than one bottle of Pinot. My knee-jerk answer to the question is Gore Vidal. But I agree with him on so many subjects and I've read so many of his works that the conversation could not be that interesting. I would not have anything to ask. I suppose Oscar Wilde, James F. Cooper, or Joseph Conrad would be writers with whom I would like to have met. If I had to pick one, Joseph Conrad.

   The authors of the bible - I would want to know how, and why, they came up with some of those stories - since most wrote years and years after Jesus was alive I would also like to know their sources.  One last questions would be "Do you have any idea of the damage you have caused?"

      Damage?  Oh, I hope not, truly.  You have an excellent response, Mr. RB.

   I would want to have a conversation with John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He's my favourite writer because he's even created a new language - the Elvish language and script. I love Lord of the Rings and his other writings. Very fascinating.
