Your Story

Sometimes I wished I could be read like a book - and I mean it quite literally.

If you were a book, what kind of story would it be?
If your life was told through words, would it be compelling?
An epic saga? A story of simple truths? Cyberpunk? Chick Lit?
Maybe a shounen manga - with you as the protagonist growing increasingly strong, alluding in reality to yourself, winning over the hardships of life?

I would like to think of mine being an epic saga of multi layered symbolisms and meanings - anarchy, moral ambiguity, love, hope, and everything else, all encompassing what is actually a very sincere and simple story about simple truths. My story would of course be in contention for the Pulitzer Prize.

But first it has to have a damn good writer.
And I'd probably have to fight some epic wars.
Alone.
Or save the world from Armageddon.

Of course, it would be unfilmable.

But in all seriousness, what would your story be?

And anyone who is thinking their book to be a biography/memoir...

Please.
