I wouldn't want to read anyone's mind, for a number of reasons.
First, I'd find the invasion of privacy troubling; I wouldn't want anyone doing that to me. (Note to OP: I know that you are setting this up as a thought game, so this objection really doesn't count.)
Next, I kind of like how we have to work things out by communicating without necessarily knowing what the other person is thinking.
Finally, I can only imagine the tedium of someone else's thoughts, given how often I think just really boring things, like, "Should I wash the dishes or post on Dave's?"
EDIT: THough, if I were to take up this chance, I suppose I would say my ex-wife, just to have a momentary glance and a chance at insight into the what the hell is going on in there. Cause I really did not know. |

The pope. I'd like to know if he's Catholic. |

Living or dead?? I'd be really curious to see the inside of Hitler's head.

I think reading God's mind would just be depressing. I don't want to know the extent of the depravity that people have got themselves into.
for that matter, there's enough venom in my own mind that if everyone else is like this (and it seems like they are), then I think I'd rather not see it for myself. |

Sebastiao Salgado. Perhaps the most brilliant photographer today. I want to know how he thinks when he shoots. |

You'd be disappointed. I'm sure it would be along the lines of "That would make a good photo. Must press button". |

I'd like to know if the
(truckdriver)
girl with whom I shared my first sexual experience still thinks about me.
Is that vain? |

KJI's.
I'd immediately start producing the most expensive subscription-only weekly newsletter the world has ever known. By the end of this year, I'd have enough money to buy my own province, which I would rule with an iron fist along totalitarian lines, while paying lip-service to a Marxist-Leninist ideology. |
