From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-11-12:

"Cervantes and Tolstoi might have had web sites, if they'd had the option. And Dickens would have been on the Internet like a pike on a minnow. (Remember, he was the originator of the Book Tour. Unless you want to count St. Paul.)" -- Lawrence Block, writer.

Oh, my. Can you imagine Dickens's blog? Sketches by Boz on a daily basis...that would be wonderful. (I imagine he'd have to make significant use of the lj-cut feature, but still).
And imagine if one was fortunate enough to be on Miss Jane Austen's friends-only list...I can't imagine her being as cutting on a public board as she was in her letters to her sister (though it would still be fun to read), but on a private site, she would be magnificently entertaining.
Even more recent authors - I wish Asimov had had one.
