Book Signing With 50 Shades of Grey Author
I went to a book store tonight and there was a line of about 1000 people standing outside the bookstore. Apparently E.L. James was at the book store for a book signing.
Is there an author (dead or alive) that you would stand in line to get an autograph from?

JK Rowling.
Sir Walter Scott... oh wait *sigh*
Tolkien
I'm not standing in line for anything...or anyone!
Chuck Palahniuk would be very cool, I would also ask him a few times how he pronounces his last name.
Waiting in line is undignified unless it's for food...
GET OUT OF AMERICA YOU BELONG HERE.
Actually no, stay in the USA.
alive - Stephen King!
dead - too many to count!
a hambeast with dark hair and glasses. she is everything I expected her to look like.
Stephen King
Many, many many authors if I can choose dead or alive. Dickens, Shakespeare, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Harper Lee, JK Rowling, many more. I'm an English geek though!

I gotta free autograph from George Takei written in one of my James Blish books from years ago when I went to a Star Trek convention with my sister and her friend.
I caught him setting up a table in the hallway when no-one else was there (everyone was in the auditorium listening to William Shatner talk about the new movie in production and I got up to use the restroom for a moment).
I didn't say anything. Finally he smiled and said, "autograph ?" I said, "Sure." I just bought the book for $4 from the booths. He opened it, signed the back of the cover and gave it back to me.
I was pretty amazed to see him up close, but in truth he really wasn't my favorite actor, I didn't tell him that tho cause I couldn't stop smiling at my luck.
Shortly after a mound of noisy people poured out of the auditorium and then him and a guy working for the convention center were now charging $10 an autograph and a line was formed, and that was what the table was for, so that was enough excitement for me. Φ ≡
C.S. Lewis maybe, but i would have to be able to converse with him first.
Doris Lessing, Arthur C Clarke.
Shel Silverstein to sign 'The Giving Tree'.
Hmmm John Glaze
Neil Gaiman!
