A Life Discarded: 148 Diaries Found in a Skip by Alexander Masters
5.0
As someone who has kept a diary in some form on and off for almost 40 years I was excited to read this unusual search for the author of 148 diaries found discarded in a skip. I wasn't disappointed and read it in two sittings over a 24 hour period.
The author (of the diaries rather than the book) never re-read them which cheered me somewhat as I rarely revisit mine and I thought I was strange for it. It's always reassuring to find you aren't alone. I donated my early paper diaries to The great diary project last year https://www.thegreatdiaryproject.co.uk/ and I hope these eventually end up there too
