Can you tell us more about the man (e.g., jobs, marital status, children, rich/poor, family)?
What is the story's time period and location?
Was the book in 3rd person with excerpts from his diary or just literally his diary?
I cannot remember for the life of me, but it was melancholic and detailed the mundanity of life, I think.
2/ When did I read it?
I read this book about a year or two ago.
3/ Cover?
if my memory serves me right its cover was read with something black on it.
4/ Moral of the story?
I think the moral of the story was that if you keep dwelling in the past you’ll miss your present?
5/ Book ending?
I think at the end of the book the character dies without having lived his life past the events he recorded in his book, I may be mistaken.
6/ Specific details in this book?
(I hope I’m not wrong about this) The man started writing this book when he was very young, my brain is telling me that he started righting it when he was 16, to record everything that he remembered and everything that happened/happens to him; however, I have a terrible memory.
If you can identify this book I would be forever grateful! It’s been bothering me for weeks!
