Whos autobiography/memoirs would you like to read?

For the sake of discussion lets presume it both (a) exists and (b) has been translated to a language you know.

I feel like Genghis Khan, if nothing else, would be a interesting read. Man got a lot of shit done in his life.

I would read John McAfee's life story. That unhinged asshole lived his best life tormenting his neighbors and getting shit on through a hammock before he killed himself in prison.

Alexander the Great

Jesus of Nazareth

Any of the people who first populated Easter Island or North America

Robin Williams

Aaron Swartz, I know he wrote blogs (which I was recently introduced and yet to read) but a biography from him would be awesome.

Right now on my list are Patrick Stewart and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Tim Sweeney

- I went to highschool with him. We hung in the same crowd of nerds and geeks. Not sure if he’s changed as an adult, but back then he was extremely introverted. Hung out at a couple of parties in his parent’s basement (where he started his shareware empire) and he spent the whole time on his computer. Should he ever write his memoirs I suspect they would focus mostly on his business life and his anti-trust efforts against various companies.

  Yeah, I've read interviews with him from years ago, before FortNite, when UnReal was just catching on. He's very focused on what he can make and what others can make with the tools he's built. I think that's pretty cool, is all.

Eight Deer Jaguar Paw from the Codex Nuttal. I want to know about his campaigns.

I know It’s not the question but Ben Franklin’s Autobio is a must read

Fyodor Dostoevsky

D. B. Cooper, for sure.

Weird Al Yankovic. The move was nice already. And Daniel Radcliffe a good choice to portray him.

- He plays himself pretty well in UHF.

There are none in book form I'd like to read since they all have one and I've read them already, but there are a few movie adaptations (there's one in particular that comes to mind) I absolutely would love to see. Relevant to all that I've said on this include the likes of Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, Mani, Joan of Arc, and another whose name eludes me.
