God. Because he wrote the Bible but Fred Nitch said he was dead or sumthing. And he was also Jesus, so Jesus would be alive again and second cumming is nice because the world be at piece forever and all.

Karl Marx
so he could realize the failure of the proletariat to revolt in almost all major capitalist societies. And with this realization, he'd discover his failures, and publish the gradual-revisionist-socialism manifesto and I'd have something to read

Ben Hecht.

>implying I idolize him
>implying it wouldn't be hilarious simply because of all the explanations the neo-marxists would have to do for their idol

Ian Hemingway
Earnest Fleming

James Joyce

Chesterton. Nietzsche as second choice, but he'd be much less fun to hang out with.

Lovecraft, because it'd be funny to see his fans try to deal with his super-racism

or De Sade I guess.

This thread is now written on the form

>>2949057
where can I find the form to write it on tho

>>2949052
He started travelling towards to end of his life and his racism really died down. He remained vehemently anti-semitic though.

>>2949146
nitwit. He married a jew.

socrates, so we wouldnt have to rely on 2nd hand accounts anymore

>>2949271
>tfw Socrates is arrested for molestation

>>2949154
That doesn't mean much, especially since it was an unsuccessful marriage.

In theory, I'd say David Foster Wallace so he could finish The Pale King and hopefully achieve the sort of "redemptive" novel he had longed to write - and that without ignoring "the physics of reading."

Of course, I don't think I actually would. A man who suffered that much... to revive him... I don't think I could do it.

>>2949312
>suffered

You're an idiot.

Mary Shelly of course!

>>2949316
Lets not quantify a suicidal's dementia now.

NO!

THIS

I'd love to fuck Percy's twink ass

Homer. I'd rather like to hear the entirety of the Troy Cycle.

Do I haveto answer now or can I wait a few years and go with Terry Pratchet?

Christopher Marlowe

>Shakespeare's an asshole anyway

General consensus is that at at some point lovecraft was just trolling.
His protege was jewish too by the way.

>>2949341
I would like to take Homer to see Troy with Brad Pitt.

I'd like to revive Christopher Hitchens and leave him a note saying it was God's work, then watch him become a tee-total ascetic writing theological books and dismissing his other ones

Hunter S. Thompson

He'd probably just kill himself again.

He would be useful right now though. For a while things got bleak and boring. Now they're batshit crazy again. I wish he had been at the Republican National Convention to take some acid and write something insane about how Clint Eastwood howled and gibbered at an empty chair, while Mitt Romney's cooling system went offline, and Paul Ryan and a team of technicians had to work round-the-clock in the Florida humidity to keep him from melting down and killing everyone there.

>>2949392
I like the way you think.

>>2949423

> "No Mr. Obama," the man with no name snarled at the empty seat, "I will not be quiet!"

> "Clint!" Ryan hollered. "Clint for god's sake, man, get outta there! The fallout, you fool! You're standing downwind!"

> Karl Rove and the other technicians wiped the sweat from their brow, as the smoking man-shaped husk of their candidate stood in the middle of the stage, face hanging open, smoke pouring out from inside of his empty husk and washing over the fat fucks sweating silently in the onlooking crowd.

> It was a bad scene.

>>2949432

> Robo Romney came back online, and for a second I saw hatred in his dead, metallic eyes. He grabbed for Ryan's throat like he wanted to rape the man's face off.

> "Turn him off!" Ryan howled and gibbered like a rabid monkey.

> The others watched, impassive. I turned and looked at Eastwood; he was trying to set the chair on fire, muttering "You fucker, you black fucking nigger," but he couldn't light the match, and just stood there growling and swearing.

> If only Palin had been there. SHE'D know what to do.

I will take Nabokov so he can release his Russian wrath on the people who released his unfinished manuscript directly ignoring his dying wish.

pre-accident Stephen King.

moar

>>2949436

What shit. "Impassive"? Did you mean "passively"? What does "impassive" even mean, active?

>The others watched, active

0/10 would rage again

Oh man then I looked up impassive and realized it comes from patior and means incapable of suffering. God damn it. I hate myself. I think I'm going to shoot myself.

William Matthews. Or Larry Levis.

>>2949474
Pretty sure he came back after Bloom did that to him

John Writter, of course

Kurt Vonnegut, for kicks. He'd be an awesome guy to have a beer with.

It's Saramago, not "mango".

Also, Blindness is one of his weakest works, just one of the most well known exactly for being that clear in its allegory and because of the film that came out of it a few years ago.

>>2949752

whatever jewish.
mango pussy, deep pussy, etc.

idk there was a movie if jessica biel played that one pretending blind slut i'd cream
