Who would you invite to your literary dinner party?

On last week's Friday Roundtable about the underdog success of independent bookstores, MPR News' Kerri Miller gave her guests a bookish challenge:

Name the three (and only three!) authors, dead or alive, who you would invite to your literary dinner party.

Who would you choose? Chime in on social media @thethreadmpr.

Kerri Miller: Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Benjamin Percy

Stephanie Curtis: Margaret Atwood, Mikhail Bulgakov and Colson Whitehead
