Has anyone read The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934? That's one of my favourite journals. Highly recommended.

The Diary of a Young Girlis pretty good. My English class had to read this book in the 8th grade. It was a pretty interesting account of anne frank.

I am reading an interesting book, 84 Charing Cross Road. Correspondence between a reader in US and a person employed in a book shop that specialises in second hand copies of pieces of literature in UK becomes a story in itself. A marvelous piece of letter writing....

I'm currently reading a huge compilation of Jessica Mitford's letters Decca: The Letters of Jessica Mitford she had a fascinating life and family and there are many hilarious letters.

Ooh, I've had that Decca book on my shelf for ages Pink, just not got to the front of the pile yet. Sounds like I should shift it forward.

Decca is a great book, it's huge, but can be easily dipped in and out of. I find myself reading big chunks at a time though as it's so fascinating.

I recently finished Dear Lumpy: Letters to a Disobedient Daughter and Dear Lupin...Letters to a Wayward Son which were okay, but became a bit repetitive. They were Christmas e-book bargains, which I've been trying to get through.
