Shakespeare, hands down. Although Marlowe might give it a good, creepy twist...

Raymond Chandler, of course. He has a way with women in the words.

I pick Alexander McCall Smith, hoping he would say something endearing about me.

Since there are no female writers on this list-I will add: Patricia Highsmith (hoping to avoid Ripley) and Emily Dickinson.

Erma Bombeck. Her ability to see life as it is and take it a little over the top was so refreshing. It is an overwhelming world in which we all have too many roles to fill and she helped us all laugh at ourselves without giving in to self loathing. She allowed us all to forgive ourselves our human flaws.
She gave us permission to not be perfect. I loved her for that.

Jane Austen to write about my wonderfully silly life and Phillip Roth to write the epilogue.

Isabel Allende for a novel and Mario Benetti for poetry. Both books would be fantastic.
