sadya Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 None, I don't want to be stuck in a lift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 None, I don't want to be stuck in a lift! That's true. I don't get it lifts because I'm scared of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Me, I worked in a hospital , got injured and was in a lift to go to surgeon and it stopped for a long time. it was the freak out for me. But at least I was in hospital oui? Tolstoy or Jane Austen or Charles Dickenson I would like to be 'stuck ' with in a lift, but I must have a paper bag for the anxiety.

MDR124 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Erm...there are loads of authors I'd like to be stuck in a lift with, so choosing just one is very difficult. Murakami would be cool, obviously, or Harlan Coben because I bet he's got a great sense of humour and I think we'd get on. Has Cate Blanchet wrote anything? Or Keira Knightly? No? Damn... Unfortunaltely neither of them does...BUT we could give them suggestion on what to write, should we happen to be stuck in a lift with them, can't we man? Sheer interest in literature anyway I'd like to be stuck in a lift with a lot of ghosts: Dostoevskji in the first place, Dante Alighieri, Homer (if he ever existed), and counting...

Angel Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think I would like to be stuck with Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, David Starkey, Jean Plaidy, Philippa Gregory, to mention a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Limiting myself to living writers for the sake of plausibility, I'd say: Neil Gaiman, to beg him to stop writing the books I want to write Terry Pratchett, to beg him to introduce into his amazing books that amazing invention: the chapter Jasper Fforde, to share witty literary innuendos and chuckle at our own brilliance Stephanie Meyer, to terrify her with classic tales of vampire lore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Terry Pratchett, to beg him to introduce into his amazing books that amazing invention: the chapter Some of his more recent ones have been broken into chapters, BJ. I actually prefer his Discworld novels not to have them as he alwyas has quite natural breaks in the text anyway. However, my Mam can't read the Discworld novels because most of them have no chapters - it really gets to her! Stephanie Meyer, to terrify her with classic tales of vampire lore I'd also love to be stuck in a lift with SM, simply to ask her how she managed to turn a mediocre series of vampire stories into such a hugely popular money-spinner - LOL!

Ben Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm pretty sure Jessica Alba wrote a book once. On a more serious not.. got to be Terry Pratchett, Eoin Colfer, Anthony Horowitz, or Jonathan Stroud. - Simply because we'd have a lot to talk about. Don't have a clue whether they're nice people or not, but I imagine they are. Jonathan Stroud I would certainly want to be stuck in a lift with.. basically because he emailed me a few times and seems nice, and I want to meet him anyway so why not in a lift!

atticjnr Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Surely the author of the Bible? Nah, seriously though, either J.K Rowling or Terry Pratchett..or both. That would be fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Or Keira Knightly? No? Damn... Im with you 6391637816538175% on that Mac! Ahhhh...dribbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 For me, either Charlaine Harris, Terry Pratchett, Mark Driscoll or Stephanie Meyer - or, all four of them at the same time - that would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetiiPie85 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I would have to say either James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell or Harlan Coben. I wouldn't be able to choose just one got too many questions for them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mines Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 In trying to answer this question, I realized that the desirability of being trapped in an elevator with a given writer is inversely proportional to how much I like them. If I wasn't equal to the task of making conversation with my favorite writer, I would have to live with that crushing intellectual humiliation for the rest of my life. Another danger would be discovering that he or she is a highly unpleasant person and never being able to read their books without constantly remembering those ill-fated and awkward hours you spent together in an elevator. So, to answer the question, I would like to be stuck in an elevator with that risible hack Dan Brown because he could not possibly mean more to me than the scullery maid we passed on the way in.

RCee Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I haven't read his books for years but I think Stephen King would make it a surreal and entertaining experience. At the very least I am sure he would take my mind off the building panic as I begin to imagine the walls closing in and the oxygen slowly being depleted *shudders*. I would not do well stuck in a lift for very long!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuddly Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I would say .. Nick Hornby! I love his books and he's surely really funny and yeh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
