Hi Fginzbur,
Don't know how to post an answer to your answer so I'll do it this way:
1. I didn't say I liked or disliked whomever you invited or your lists. Everyone makes their own choices. I just made a statement.
2. Most of these people listed I have read, discussed, researched etc. I have a dozen copies of Shakespeare, a half-dozen biographies, and have read multitudes of articles etc. The only thing Will might answer for me is "You or Bacon or Who?" You might say I have some admiration for most of them, though.
I apologize for assuming I could say anything I wanted at this post as long as it matches the subject. I only hoped to sponsor some thought and comment rather than just a sterile list..
3rd. Why would it be difficult to ignore the host? I've seen heads of state ignored, dying people ignored, very intellegent and concerned people ignored, squalid, poverty-stricken peons ignored. What makes a host special?
4th. I had no problem imagining all these in the same room together. Can you imagine the seating arrangement.
And I am having fun. May even have gotten a little rise out of you :-).
5. I think most of mine are dead, too. Manners might have been a little rougher but I'm sure the conversation would have been just as interesting.
4th. OK, 6th. Just checking. You only made mention of my approach to the question and the board, you haven't said a thing about my choices. I can read what Catherine or Vince or Ben said, who wrote for my poor dogs? Wouldn't you like to know how they felt about their world? I had thought you would have had fun with that. I'm having fun.
By the way, I'd love to see 'Liz and Mary in the same room. That should be a whole even's entertainment.
