Since I like to read, authors are my rock stars and celebrities. I met Larry McMurtry once. Wow. If I could meet John Updike or Anne Tyler, I'd probably do that really deep kind of bowing where you're down on your hands and knees and your forehead is touching the floor. It would also be wonderful to meet actor Hugh Laurie, who plays the brilliant curmudgeonly House in the TV series of the same name. As luck would have it, Laurie's as author (The Gun Seller) as well. Sweet.
