I'm currently writing my memoir with the intention of writing the longest and most detailed memoir ever written. I have written 640,000 words thus far and have yet to reach my twelfth birthday (in the book). Needless to say there are what some may label "digressions" but they are all carefully articulated and included in order to benefit the work as a whole.

Are there any lengthy memoirs you have read and appreciated? Are there any literary feats similar if not equivalent to what I am attempting?

Thanks for reading.

who could possibly be interested in reading all that?

Christ almighty. What has happened in your life to warrant that word count? Anything even remotely exciting or readable?

It depends really on who they judge the author to be. My mother for example will read it regardless of any promotional effort, and perhaps a dozen people may be tempted to read around fifty pages if they find out about it and find the novelty appealing. I am considering sending it to establishing publishing houses, although the responses I have received from such publishing houses thus far has severely discouraged me from believing that publishing this via traditional means is a realistic ambition.

Hey, look, it's Veeky Forums's resident autist again.

Is it written as a wikipedia page?

I appreciate certain writers because they celebrate, or at least articulate in a beautiful manner the events of what may be referred to as "everyday life", or in other words the kind of mundane lived lived by the majority of people who travel from a property to a workplace and attempt in the meantime to understand what it is they desire or value in this life, and attempt to form relationships with other people, and to improve themselves somehow, and so on. Not only is my work an extremely detailed yet poetic and emotional literary narrative, it also involves profound and meaningful thoughts about life, society, the Self, emotion, thought, and human history, to name only a small handful of the subjects I cover in my writing.

I intend to upload it as a single wikipedia page and include relevant hyperlinks, images and so forth to break it up into a form which appears appealing to read. The name of the Wikipedia article will be the title of my work.

So, millions of words, most of them navel gazing.

Henry Darger's oeuvre, perhaps.
