Thought this would make a good survey but didn't know how. But if magnus carlsen was to write a book what book of his would you like to read? A tournament or match book? Autobiography? Instructional? Puzzle book? Etc.

Personally I would like to read an Autobiography.

Something like Fischer's 'My 60 Memorable Games', though given Carlsen's personality it's hard to imagine something that would be so candid, psychologically insightful and adept at generating the sense of drama from his games. Mind you, I never thought this would be the case for Fischer either. I guess Larry Evans must take a good share of the credit in Fischer's case. Who would be Carlsen's Larry Evans?

Agdestien maybe. Since he was probably there for most of the games I think he could give some interesting insight and he is also good enough at chess to describe the game and his opponent.
