Sigmund Freud, and the pile o' books
You're wondering what the connection is: there isn't one.
On Freud. I've been trying to come up with names of well known, long dead men who looked something like Freud (as he is seen here). So far I've got Walt Whitman and Robert E. Lee. If you can think of any names, please speak up. I'm writing a scene about Halloween, in case you're wondering.

On the contest: I should have thought to say this before, but I have to exclude my own books. A couple people have very kindly volunteered to memorize one of my novels for posterity, but I'm asking them to withdraw their 'why I'd memorize this book' entry from the forum and substitute a different novel. Because really, I can't pick one of my own. Flattering? Yes. Did I take offense? Absolutely not. A possible winner? no no no.
It seemed to me that I remembered some early 20th century physicists that might have the look. Heisenberg came to mind, but he was a mathematician, nor looked like Freud. So here are a few: Heinreich Martin Weber, Adolf Abraham Halevi Fraenkel, Friedrich Wilhelm Karl Ernst Schröder.
Also, the site Google chose Heisenberg for me:

I know this won't help at all but my first thought was that he looks like Geroge Carlin.
If ya cross your eyes he kind looks like Henry Miller :D
Just can't resist more!
Erwin Schrödinger
Leon Trotsky
George V of England
You say George V, what about his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II? Noticed a pic of them together on Google and there was a resemblence.
