10 auto/biographies I’d like to write

The Library of Unwritten Books houses “a collection of possible books” - hundreds of titles of books that haven’t been written yet.  Here’s another list of unwritten books.

I’m a prolific inventor of new books, and I only wish the execution were half as prolific.

Here are 10 auto/biographies I’d love to write, some time.  I’ll elaborate via hyperlinks when I get a chance:

1. The autobiography of things I can’t remember.
2. The autobiography of my reflection.
3. 100 different autobiographical memories about the same event.
4. The autobiography of my stomach.
5. The collective auto/biography of an institution.
6. The autobiography of my membership of a tribe.
7. A made-up biography of myself, written by someone else, that extends into the future.
8. An obituary for every year of my life, imagining I’d died in that year.
9. The constructed autobiography of Philip Pullman.
10. The diary (or blog) of an alien living on earth.
