I'm just wondering is there a certain author you would just LOVE to meet? And Why? Are there any questions you would like to ask them in specific?

Do you guys know that Post Secret series.. it's where Frank Warren gets post cards filled with peoples secrets mailed to his house.. and then it gets collected into a book.Well, I met frank warren yesterday at a local university. There were lots of people.. and it was really empowering.. adn afterwards he was doing a book signing.. I don't own the books but my friends do so I read their copies.. and my friends got their book copies autographed. And me and my friend, Nikki, who doesn't own book, we wrote our secrets on a piece of paper..lots of secrets adn he signed it.. adn he stamped it. He's really humble and you can tell he genuinely cares.Aww. That sounds really sweet.Some authors are really modest. I met Libba Bray nearly two years ago at a book signing and she was the sweetest thing ever. She kept saying that she "couldn't really believe so many people showed up" and that it was a pleasure to be there. Not just that, she took the time to ask people their names and talked for a few minutes. It really was incredible. She actually gave the impression that she wanted to be at the book signing and wasn't being forced to do it in order to publicize her book (although I'm sure that that was on the agenda).I'd love to meet Meg Cabot. From the answers on her blog site, she sounds like a real sweetheart. Apart from her, JK Rowling because she seems really humble. JKR gives the impression that she knows her fans got her out of debt and that she is really grateful for it.Some authors I'd hate to meet even by accident - Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer. From what I've heard, both of them are pretty arrogant. Apparently, Meyer is too lazy to write her full name and only writes "2 <insert name here> SM" which is quite rude, IMO, since her fans had a huge hand in making her what she is today. Anne Rice -- I've heard her personality is quite off putting and the way she treats her fans is downright incredulous. If her post at Amazon was anything to go by, I think she is quite pathetic. Giving her own book 5 stars and defending it made her look like a whiny teenager and I've lost quite a bit of respect for her since then.
