Chester Bennington, the singer from Linkin Park. R.I.P. Chester! I wish he would have written one. I would read it. I would even read memoirs from the band members if any of them decided to write them. My brother started listening to Linkin Park when he was a teenager and when I was a little girl. He and I like a lot of the same bands. We like talking about music. He was in Band in school and I was in Choir.

William Shakespeare! I can imagine the prose he would write about himself would be spectacular.

Kshakal That‘s a great choice! 4d

Princess Dianna… I think it would be fascinating to read about her experiences from her prospective.

I would want a memoir from EA Poe after he was dead. I want to know exactly what happened to him on the last day of his life. Why was he disheveled and wearing clothes that didn't fit him? Did he have rabies? Was the famous author killed from a beating? From carbon monoxide poisoning? From alcohol withdrawal? Cooping? Brain tumor? Flu? Murder? #theafterlifememoir 😀

mabell That is truly an intriguing real life mystery! 4d
dabbe @mabell 🤩😀🤗 4d
Bookwomble I listened to an In Our Time podcast about Poe the other day, and one of the panelists speculated that, perhaps, he'd been "press ganged" into voting fraud, which was apparently a thing at the time - fake identity and "voter" threatened into the ballot to support a particular candidate. And, checking just now for reliability, I find this article on Wikipedia about "cooping": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooping ?‍⬛ 4d

dabbe @Bookwomble VERY interesting! Thanks! 🤗 4d
Bookwomble @dabbe Thank you, though I belatedly notice that you already mentioned cooping in your original post. Apologies - I wasn't intending to mansplain! 🫣 4d
dabbe @Bookwomble You gave me more to look at--no mansplaining at all! 🤩😂😀 4d
Bookwomble @dabbe Phew! 😅 4d
BookmarkTavern Yeah! That would be super interesting! Thanks for answering! 4d
dabbe @Bookwomble You. Crack. Me. Up. 🤩 4d
Bookwomble @dabbe Thank goodness somebody has finally found a use for me! I must tell the missus! 😄 4d

I would adore a memoir by Tim Curry! He has done so many interesting projects and I would love to know what he thought of them.

How much fun did he have playing Hexxus in Ferngully or acting with the Muppets? What was his favorite part of filming the Three Musketeers? Or Clue!

#SundayFunday I hope you all have a fantastic day, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

KathyWheeler I would absolutely read a memoir by Tim Curry! 4d
vonnie862 That's a good one! 4d

Behold! My Dracula stack! #SundayFunday

My first paperback copy from high school, the paperback copy with all my notations and highlights, my copy of Dracula Daily, one ebook (out of two), and one audiobook (out of two)!

Probably my favorite classical novel. And I can‘t wait to read it again starting on Friday! ❤️🦇❤️ #DraculaDaily

I‘ll never pass up a copy of either of these books. Here‘s my current collection, and I can‘t tell you how many I‘ve given away to gifts to my reader friends. #sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern

BookmarkTavern How fun! Two very different books! Thanks for posting! 2w

#SundayFunday Think this is the most of one title I own. The manga on top kinda counts!😁The interesting thing about the leather bound, that is a 7th printing of the Shakespeare & Company 1st edition. It was declared obscene. For Americans trying to bring in back into the states it was suggested they have them bound in Paris as the customs inspectors didn‘t remember the title or author, they were told to look for the distinctive blue paper cover.

BookmarkTavern Manga totally counts! What a great stack! Thanks for posting! 2w

I have three copies of this poetry collection—thanks to my mother. I used to pore over her copy (top right) for hours when I was in elementary school/jr. high. She eventually got me a copy of my own (the one at the bottom of the be-ribboned book stack). She later bought me another copy (top left), forgetting she‘d already gotten me one! My mom passed away two years ago, and now I have all three—it‘s difficult to part with any! #SundayFunday

LeahBergen That‘s lovely! 🥰 2w
Leftcoastzen I used to have the paperback years ago, wonder what happened to it ? I don‘t purge very often. 2w
BookmarkTavern That is so sweet! What a lovely thing to remember your mother by. Thank you for sharing! 2w

I love this question! What a cool idea for something to ask everyone. I‘m really looking forward to going through the tag and checking out everyone else‘s answers.

As for me, I own the most copies of Anne Sexton‘s complete poems. I think I have four copies of it. Possibly five. I have several different editions, some of which are literally falling apart. One of them has been written in heavily. All of them are well loved. #SundayFunday

Leftcoastzen Love Anne Sexton! I have 1 hardcover 1 paperback of the complete poems 2w
BookmarkTavern Love this! One of my copies of Dracula is the one that has all my notes in it! Thanks for sharing! 2w
