THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: If you could have dinner with one author alive or dead who would it be?

I know this is a play on the party game type question about any famous person but I still think it is a little bit of fun. I had to think about this one for a while and I am sure if you asked me again tomorrow I would have a different answer. Today, though, I would pick Julius Caesar. I will pause for any laughs about the fact he is a historical person. He is, of course, but he is also a writer and I have read the Gallic Wars several times. I think it would be very interesting to sit with him and see how his mind worked. He was such a genius in so many ways and yet he missed some very large red flags at the end didn’t he? I would say lets have that meal in modern times, I don’t think I want to try Dormouse.
