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.
Right now on my list are Patrick Stewart and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Eight Deer Jaguar Paw from the Codex Nuttal. I want to know about his campaigns.
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.
No doubt - his focus has built some really cool stuff. He always struck me as a decent sort and his fight on behalf of the little guy when it comes to percentages paid to Steam, Apple, and his own Epic shows that too.
Aaron Swartz, I know he wrote blogs (which I was recently introduced and yet to read) but a biography from him would be awesome.
I know It’s not the question but Ben Franklin’s Autobio is a must read
D. B. Cooper, for sure.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
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.
