This is an extraordinary story. But I hope it doesn’t happen to me someday!
The 148 diaries below were found in a dumpster. Many years later, a biographer named Alexander Masters tries to decipher the writer’s identity from their contents… to say any more would be a spoiler. It’s a must read!

What a great story! Isn’t it amazing that JUST the right person found those journals? It also makes me realize that I should put my name in all of mine. There probably are no Alexanders waiting for me.
Great read over breakfast. If I lost even one of my journals, my life would seem incomplete.
This is an amazing story. Thanks for posting it. I can’t imagine what I would do if my journals were tossed out.
Thanks, nifty, fabulous find.
