LOL Sass, me too.. I read Persuasion (granted it is a very small book) in like 3 or four hours. Mansfield Park was the first one I ever read and of course my fav.
I would also have to say Louisa May Alcott.

There a many I'd love to have back for one more novel or, even better, to get to meet and know: Faulkner, Hemingway, Poe, Twain, and on and on. But if I could only pick onne, it'd be, John Kennedy Toole, a superb young author who died before his first (and only) novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, was published.

I would have to say VC Andrews. Although her family is still publishing her stories from her memoirs. So I guess she doesnt count. lol

Hers were the first grown up stories I read my aunt offered me her at the time up to date collection, when I was shockingly only thirteen years old. It took me around 30 days to read her first 22 novels.

Emily Dickinson. The answer to that question took zero hesitation on my part.

Charles Dickens, mainly so he could finish writing The Mystery of Edwin Drood. As it is, the story has gone as far as the disappearance of Edwin Drood, and there is no way of knowing how it would have been concluded.

I think Charles Dickens would have a number of important things to say about the state of the world today.

He was a song writer and not a poet, but I can't help wondering what other songs Jim Croche would have written if he had not died

Two of his novels, The Stranger (or L'Etranger) and The Fall, are still favourites of mine. Love Camus, including The Stranger and The Fall. Have you read The Plague? I read a fair amount of Camus in an Existentialism class in college.
