If there was a book about Chris Chan would you buy it?

If he wrote an autobiography any better than his incoherent prison letters, I might buy it. If the book doesn't provide any information I can't find on CWCki already, no. If a biography really went in depth on stuff we didn't have so far — especially if somehow it could provide the original autism diagnosis — yes.

A possible model for this might be Ryan Walsh's Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968, a rock biography but actually a really good one, where he does tell a masterful story about the American counterculture in 1968, all of whom intersected somehow with Van Morrison and his 1968 album Astral Weeks. In Chris's case (and I don't know off the top of my head if you could do this) you would find various curious unrelated stories, all of which intersected in Chris's life, all of which lead you back to talking about Chris again.

Another model might be Robert A. Caro's massive multivolume biography of Lyndon Johnson; this would have to be really, really good if it didn't provide anything that CWCki didn't have. You would be paying mostly for the meaningful reflections on the facts, and the organized narrative presenting the facts.

You might present it as Christian's The Art of the Deal. Find someone to ghostwrite it, and in it he would present self help tips along with self-aggrandizing reflections on this or that "success". This would have the advantage that it would be new material.

Having him collaborate with a journalist on his own version of The Autobiography of Malcolm X would not work, because that really would require him to actually find purpose in jail, which he hasn't.

Or hell, let's have him just write about religion. Let's have his scripture, his Satanic Bible, his Liber AL Vel Legis, his Bible, his Divine Mercy in My Soul, his Pāli Canon. It would need to be edited (by which I mean have explanatory notes, not to abridge it), and probably ghostwritten.

no, I don't buy anything regarding a lolcow. everything you need to know is online. also, a lot of these internet/meme related books or (know your meme) shit is usually biased in some way.
 
unless it's like that mr. bean diary book where there's fake boogers and coffee stains and bugs stuck to the pages I would simply download the pdf from the thread and probably never read it

if it's a scratch'n'sniff i'll pre-order
