Can anyone suggest some books that are written in the form of letters or diaries? I'm thinking of books like 84, Charing Cross Rd. if anyone knows this book. Many years ago I found a book called Australia Adventure by Anne Clark. She was the wife of the ambassador to Australia when Lyndon Johnson was president. The book was the letters she wrote to family and friends describing their life in Australia. I enjoyed both very much and would love to find more like them.
This is the first book in a trilogy about Napoleon's first wife,Josephine.
I usually don't care for books told in letters or diaries, but this was very readable.

maybe what you are not looking for: ronald reagan and Nancy have a few books out.
Any of the books about Harry Flashman, "Flashman At The Charge", "Flashman In The Great Game", etc. Harry Flashman is a fictional character who, like Forest Gump in the '60s and '70s, is present at EVERY military, and many political event of the Victorian Age.
The books are historically accurate, well footnoted and funny as all get out. I learned more about 18th century (British) history from them then in any college course.
This is one of my favorite reads of the last several years. It is written in the form of journal by a Chinese student who is in Japan to recouperated at the outbreak of the War between Japan and China. It is an exquisite slowly unfolding story of three people, a family and a village.....fascinating...enthralling....and sad. A gem of a book. I can't recommend it highly enough!
One that I read and enjoyed several years ago is the fiction book These is My Words by Nancy Turner. I've just discovered she wrote a couple of sequels to this book that I will have to put on my reading list!
In These is My Words, the entire story is told through the diary of the main character.
Yes, The Time Travelers Wife. It is, hands down, one of the best books i've ever read. Its fictional and never clarifies whether they are supposed to be actual diary entries of the main characters but its always dated and from the point of view of to different people. There are some threads about it actually. I definately reccomend it.
seconded. dracula is an awesome book, and it really does fit with the season.
