bilbo baggins because he loved his scran and understood 2nd breakfasts. i feel we could talk about food for literally hours. and i like the sound of his baccy...for the post prandial
Without overthinking it, Phryne Fisher. Both in the books and in the show, she’s fearless, intelligent, funny, cunning, philanthropic, and free. A woman WAY ahead of her time!
Captain Vimes, Lady Sibyl and the Ankh-Morpork Guards from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I want to hear about their days of fighting crime on the mean streets, avoiding being flamed by dragons, being an effective unit and the perils of being sent back in time to meet yourself. Hopefully Ron Dibbler will not be providing the catering!
If there's time I want to fan girl Rita Vrataski from Edge of Tomorrow on one of her better mimic-free days and encourage Major William Cage that things can only get better!
For purely gossip sake, I would love to meet with Albus Dumbledore, the gay wizard. I'm curious who the other LGBTQ folks are in the magical world--something the author probably wouldn't want anyone to know about. (Also, to hear A.D. dish on J.K.R.) Also, I'd love to spend time in Big Eden, Montana based on the movie with the same name.
Would he know he was gay, or would you have to tell him after the fact? I've always resented that Jo couldn't be bothered to make kids lives better by actually labeling him in the books.
This is a toughie. My first, reflexive answer is the "Stephen King" character from the intros to his books. That character is so beloved he had to tell his fans to stop wandering around on Maine highways looking for him.
I'd love to get drunk with Rick Sanchez.
Or smoke a honey bear bong with Floyd.
I'm really not coming up with a lot of popular characters that would hold my interest for a dinner.
Bokonon. There you go. I'd pick Bokonon. He'd be a lot of fun to chat with.
Lady Jessica, Bene Gesserit. When I read Dune for the first time almost 60 years ago, it was the first novel I’d ever read with a strong female character. Would love to have a conversation and glass of wine with her.
Lisa Simpson. We have much in common: intelligence, culture, not suffering fools, and dealing with a world in which we seem out of place.
That's a great answer.
Yes, it is.
Withnail.
This is a really strong pick.
You could start with a Camberwell carrot for sure ;)
OH BUT OF COURSE!
What a great character name!

I love this pick.
I was kicking myself not to think of Withnail though... I DEMAND BOOZE!
Don Quixote de la Mancha, it won't make sense, but it will be very interesting. Just what we need at this time.
Intriguing pick.

I haven't read these books, but I love that this Australian series made the cut.
I’ve now watched the whole series 4 times. All the books, she’s still writing them, just once!
Captain Vimes, Lady Sibyl and the Ankh-Morpork Guards from Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

Fascinating choice!

Galadriel the Lady of the woods of Lothlorien. I would like to learn more about the elves and what they think about life and its meaning.
I'm anxious just thinking about this meal.
Jesus. If only to have him say the grace.
But if he were unavailable, then yes...
Withnail.
Raylan Givens or Boyd Crowder … Justified
I know some writers who would be very flattered by this pick.
Boo Radley
Faaaaaascinating pick.

Intriguing picks.
Anatole, the legendary chef from P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves books. As long as he was doing the cooking.
Heh, love it.
Hannibal Lector.
I'm glad I'm not alone.
Same, I once answered the same thing on my WordPress, everyone was a bit confused hahaha

I'd be afraid to listen to anything she said. (That's DUNE humor for you.)
