My 8:

John Steinbeck - of course.
William Shakespeare - to clear up any mysteries about authorship.
Mozart - to have some nice party music.
Leonardo - To clear up a few mysteries about hidden symbolism in his work.
Jesus Christ - To clear up a few mysteries about exactly what he preached.
Mary Magdalene - For the female perspective with J.C.

Final 2 - you'll never guess.

George Carlin - If you have J.C. at the table, you have to have
George, plus I want to hear him say to Leonardo "You're a FAAAAAAAAG!"

Finally...

Great-Grandfather Oisboid - to provide a link from what I know about
my grandfather to other relatives, to hear about his father and
grandfather, and where they're from.

So I'm sentimental...
