It would be a very tragic biography about a man who spent his life reaching for greatness but never quite making it. A man who idolised many but was never idolised himself.

Giger makes me hard.

I don't care much for the story of it myself but it has a happy ending.

I'd rather not have an Author write my biography...

My biography probably wouldn't be that popular. There would be plenty of adventure, some romance and a number of tragic events, but as a character I wouldn't be very likable. My luck is 2/10 and I never utilize my talents, so if I die tomorrow it means the book ends without me ever realizing my full potential or my luck changing.

"Dear Lord, Why Did I Agree To Write This: The Altogether Forgettable Life of Anon"
by Dan Brown

When viewed in retrospect, Dan Brown's actions were entirely ridiculous. One night, while going through his routine of reading through the daily obituaries, the famed author was struck by the face of one particular young man - Anon Anonson, who had recently passed away out of sheer mediocrity.

An 18 year old Liberal Arts degree hopeful, the pitiful life that was Anon Anonson's spoke to Brown as being one that was "...beautifully plain. Really, this boy did nothing." Taking it upon himself to seek out the boy's parents and his friend, Brown soon learnt all there was to know about him. Publishing a thoroughly researched and cross-referenced encyclopedia of knowledge pertaining to Anon Anonson, "The Altogether Forgettable Life of Anon" hit the stores as an exceptionally unremarkable 30 page novella detailing a young boy's dreams of eventually becoming a young man.

Critics panned the work as being "if nothing else, terrible" and particularly found fault with the main character who was noted as being "wholly unlikable" and who "deserved his grim and unfortunate end". The book was quickly forgotten and discarded, as it was too shoddy to hit mainstream appeal, and not terrible enough to achieve cult status.
