Great topic! So hard to keep this to five!
Abraham Lincoln I’d just want to be in the presence of his wisdom.
Queen Elizabeth I for so many reasons her political savvy, her patronage of the arts, her crazy family and her childlessness.
Henry Rollins to hear about music in his personal collection and to read & discuss snippets of books he’s read.
Frida Kahlo She’s a fascinating person and I would love to discuss her works.
Mark Twain I’d love to hear about what didn’t make it into The Innocents Abroad (one of my favorite books by him).
