David Gemmell, I would love to see more of his work which just kept getting better and better until he died in 2006.

Mark Twain. I'd like to see what he'd write about these days. The things he wrote late in life were so much different than his early stuff, and his opinions so far outside the general thinking of his time that I'd imagine he'd be writing a lot more angry now, and I imagine his humor would be more edgy and devastating. Also Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams.

A.A Milne.......He actually wrote some pretty kick ass detective stories in his time although once Winnie the Pooh got published he had a hard time re-directing his press and stopped writing them! Bastard!
Either that or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, maybe not to write but more so I can ask him about what he REALLY meant in 'The Final problem' (SPOILER ALERT) What the hell were you thinking when they had that struggle over the falls....seriously?! Is the whole split personality thing truly without founding?! Damn you Doyle, so many questions I have for you!!
As for your quest to write 'elevated' lit....HA. Long live pulpy detective novels! *swishes her cape*

Anna Akhmatova. Her poem "I Don't Know If You're Alive Or Dead" is chilling, to me. It speaks of lost love and talks to my heart in ways poetry rarely does. T.S. Eliot. His poem "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" really gets to me. It is in general about a cat who is both a part of a world that is effected by the things he does, and disassociates himself equally with the world by negating any responsibility for what he does and is never anywhere long enough to be seen. In some ways, I can relate to that cat. Robert Frost. His poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" seems to be about the threat of a looming (winter induced) depression upon a man who has someone he wants to keep happy, but "the woods are lovely, dark and deep". Again, I can relate to at least my interpretations of the aforementioned works. That's all I have for now. I haven't explored them in depth but will be doing so very soon
