No dead family members or that's all you'll get...
Living: Christopher Hitchens
I write and Hitchens is a personal hero of mine. Many people here may know him as the writer of "god is not Great", although he's written so many
books I've lost count (read: Letters to a Young Contrarian, if you have a chance). I'd ask him about his literary career mainly, how he developed
such a command over the English language.
Dead: Jesus Christ (?)
I'm an atheist myself but if I could spend a day with anyone I wanted, I'd have to say Jesus; if he was indeed a real person, I don't know that he
was. If so, I'd ask him what really happened, what he did, how he actually felt about the actions carried out in his name, etc. I think that would be
a fascinating conversation.
If Jesus didn't pan out, I'd flip a coin with Khufu on one side and Einstein on the other.
