If you could have lunch with just one fictitious character.....

[GL49]

Monte Walsh or Boss (Bluebonnet) Spearman

[MT Gianni]

Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell from the James Lee Burke novels. If they can't make it, then perhaps Virgil Flowers, a recurring character in John Sandford's novels. Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan would make for an interesting lunch too.

We read the same books, I have always found Clete Purcell a fascinating charachter. "Tell my ex I left my toothbrush in the bathroom. I really want her to have it". Ya gotta love Clete.

[Reverend Al]

"Fearless Fosdick"! (They MUST have been shooting "Boolits" to get holes THAT big in everyone!)

[horsesoldier]

John Galt

[WECSOG]

After todays speech by our Commander In Chief, where is John Galt?

[AlaskanGuy]

Fictitious he said...... I would love to have Betty Boop for lunch.... And for desert.... He he. That short skirt made for easy dining.. Opps.

[bikerbeans]

Samurai Jack.

[ballistim]

Just one? I was going to say the guys in the cell in Goodfellas, I get hungry anytime I see that scene with the steak, lobster, and Paulie cutting the garlic with a razor. I'd only like to stay for lunch and have the freedom to leave immediately thereafter

[redneckdan]

I would have to say John Kelly (who would be come John Clark). Less of an age gap and probably relate to each other better.

As for real world people I would say a river side lunch with Norman Maclean. I'd even row the drift boat.

[shdwlkr]

The fictitious character I would like to have lunch with would be a President that really cared about America and her people. That would be a most interesting lunch.

[Janoosh]

+1 Thomas of Hookton
+1 Richard Sharpe
"Lucky" Jack Aubrey.....Master and Commander
and, last but not least, Alice.
Not THAT Alice.....the gun slingin, zombie shootin, all around bad-***, Alice!

[Janoosh]

Oooops.....I forgot....
Ivanhoe
Henry V.......from Shakespeare...."We band of brothers"...from the St. Crispins Day speech.

[Bohica793]

Dagney Taggart

[Garyshome]

Dr Who! Of course.

[Rick R]

Dirk Pitt. Clive Cussler character and head of NUMA.Robert

+1 Though seeing as he's always in some kind of trouble and saving the world you might not survive lunch...

[brtelec]

We read the same books, I have always found Clete Purcell a fascinating charachter. "Tell my ex I left my toothbrush in the bathroom. I really want her to have it". Ya gotta love Clete.

I lived in New Iberia for 14 years and have read all the Robicheaux novels. I can not stand Dave Robicheaux. The only thing that had me read all the novels was Clete Pucell. Great character. I also agree that Virgil Flowers would be a great person to actually meet. I would however, rather meet C. W. Shugrue from the James Crumley Novels.

[labdwakin]

mine would be Nimitz the Treecat fromt he Honor Harrington novels by David Weber

[Rangefinder]

Mitch Rapp

Yup, but Scott Harveth would be as interesting. Actually, Scott Coleman wouldn't even be a bad option, probably has a few stories Rapp wouldn't likely share willingly.

[archmaker]

Rick Schumann, the bartender from Larry Niven's Draco Tavern book. I thought Mr. Clark (John Kelly) and that would be cool, but I don't think he would tell all that I would want to hear, whereas Rick . . . . the stories would be told, and hard to believe.

[dragonrider]

mine would be Nimitz the Treecat fromt he Honor Harrington novels by David Weber

Wow I can't believe someone else read the Honor Harrington novels. I thought they were awesome. But I still think Captain Ahab, what stories he could tell.
